Seniors Week at the Planetarium

Join us for Seniors Week 2022 with a free screening of Birth of Planet Earth at the Launceston Planetarium.

Birth of planet Earth is a show that tells the twisted tale of Earth’s origins. Our planet formed four and a half billion years ago, and scientists now think that our galaxy is filled with planetary systems, including planets roughly the size of our own.

An important question is how the Moon formed. According to a major hypothesis, it came into being as a result of a catastrophic collision, which is depicted realistically on our planetarium dome.

The show examines the questions of how Earth become a living planet in the wake of our Solar System’s violent birth, and what its history tells us about our chances of finding other worlds that are truly Earth-like.

Please note: this screening is free to all visitors with a valid seniors card.
