Secret of the cardboard rocket

When children build a toy rocket made of cardboard, they find that it can take them on an amazing journey through the Solar System. Their astronomy book, borrowed from the library, comes alive and tells them more about the exciting things they are seeing including the different planets.

Every planetarium show includes a discussion session on astronomy and a live presentation showing Tasmania's current night sky.
