The Planetarium is closing

[hiccup]

You used to get into the Planetarium after you'd been round the main Madame T's bit, but if you were a Blue Peter badge winner, you'd get to jump the queue and go into the Planetarium first. Which was

Gutted, used to love the Planetarium though I havent been the best part of a decade.

Tussauds is shit so never used to bother going there.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Shit. I've not been there since I was a kid, but I shall have to now...

[Rollem]

The stars are not wanted now,put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For the Planetarium is closing for good.

Dreadful news. Is the Liverpool Planetarium still going?
I went to there as a child, and was mesmerised.

It's a sad state of affairs when we're more interested in celebrities than the stars and planets around us.

Is the Liverpool Planetarium still going?

Yes, still there as Britain's only free planetarium. It has just rebranded as the Planetarium at "World Museum Liverpool" (The dowager of William Brown Street has been renamed after her makeover, presumably in a desperate bid to convince funders that a separate Museum of Liverpool is needed in the Fourth Grace on the Pier Head.)

But it was always like this, Madame Turdsword's wax museum came into existence in the early 19th century, 150 years before theyshoved a planetaruim up its annex.This new planetarium at Greenwich has probably as much to do with the closure as anything as it will take away all the school trip business.

I would imagine it would of been very difficult to have made a planetaruim in the 19th century.

With lasers perhaps, but Freddie the second pinched one using an earlier technology frim the Saracens in the 13th century, and by the 19th century (the age of the dioramas) they were common.
