Peter Harrison Planetarium

The southern half of the Royal Observatory includes this state-of-the-art, 120-seat planetarium, now closed while the Royal Observatory is redeveloped - shows run instead at the National Maritime Museum. It's equipped with a digital laser projector that can lay out the heavens on the inside of its roof. It runs several informative shows a day, including a program for kids, and it's best to book in advance.
