BBC News - Sir Patrick Moore planetarium unveiled at space centre

I must visit this sometime. Only one hour drive from me.

Wonderful news!

Looks like a really good place to visit. Really glad they have honered Sir Patrick in such a way

I dropped in there for an afternoon with the children a few weeks ago and thought it was really good. Plenty of stuff to do and look at. I wasn't expecting to see anything sizeable but there are two genuinely big rockets there which are quite impressive, plus a russian soyuz (I think).

We did go into the planetarium but to be honest it was for a free show included in the ticket price and was more of an overview of space science and a bit recruitment drive for young scientists. I think there are better shows which you can pay for separately which are more about the tours of the night sky which I think may be better.

In summary, well worth a visit I would say.
