It was just the other day that I've seen the London planetarium which was in Marlybone road London just near regents park has moved...

Recently a journal which I've been visiting for a number of years said that the world's oldest planetarium is in America...

Mmmm...

The planetarium is a wonderful contribution for science and human sociology it is just a real shame there isn't more of them, it was probably one of the greatest wonders of being a child...

The tent and the telescope will always be the strengths of science!
