Large state of the art planetarium proposed for south Wales

[reddoss]

There are proposals to build  what would be one of the largest planetariums in Europe along with a small public observatory on the site of an old coal mine in a south wales valley (see link below).

I really hope this comes off. I would definitely be a regular visitor.

Let's hope that this goes ahead and stimulates future generations of stargazers.

Ideal , space for 350 folk to sit and escape the rain ...

Great news. Let's hope it actually comes off. I shall certainly be there at the opening, and hopefully a frequent visitor. A much needed boost for an area that has it's share of hardships.

Great news for that part of the UK - looks set to be a superb facility.

[Dave Lloyd]

Yes, that would be great.
