Explore the cosmos during the next school holidays at the Astrobiology Dome – ‘The Mars Blueberry,’ New Zealand’s one-of-a-kind portable planetarium!
For just $5.50 (including booking fee), journey into space, planets, the origin of life, and prospects beyond Earth. Come to Rangatahi Hub in Carterton and step into a cosmic adventure with mesmerising audio-visuals and storytelling. Travel from STARLINK satellites to Mars, Venus, and distant solar systems. Interact with live presenters Hari and Sam for an immersive experience. Make the Universe your playground this holiday and be sure to book in advance so you don’t miss out!
Hari and Sam do not have a script when they talk about space which is what makes them different form other planeteria. They are not only space science communicators but have science backgrounds in their own right. Hari is an astrobiologist who interned at NASA and currently an associate research scientist for the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science. Sam is an astrophysicist.
While most people coming to see the Mars Blueberry for the first time like to hear a short introduction to space and astronomy, we love and welcome your questions. Every show is unique because it is based on space news and updates so it is more like a discussion where you get answers, not a prerecorded script. The software that we use is based on the latest science missions data returned to Earth from space. We ponder about the big questions of the universe with you. If you are a repeat visitor, bring your burning questions along.
