If there was an ideal way to get kids to see the stars no matter what the weather, a mobile planetarium is a must
in my honest opinion.
Over the years they have been used increasingly by outreach events as a means of inspiring children and indeed

the more mature into science. I have
delivered a fair few of these shows
now to schools and public events,
though without doubt it is hard
work organisating batches of up to
30 adults and children to come and
sit into what I suppose amounts to
and indeed looks like an inflatable
igloo to sit on the floor staring at
the wall.
