THE MAGIC OF THE NIGHT SKY Word s by Ben ed ek , Exe cutive Duty Manage r at Esplora
Remember the last time you gazed up to the sky on a starry summer night? Like tiny droplets of crystals in the midst of space, the night sky pulls us in and lifts our souls to the heavens. It is one of those rare moments of mesmerising joy and awe which truly makes us feel alive. Yes, our feet are planted firmly on the ground, but our heart is beating amongst the stars every time we look upon the sky on a starry summer night! Now, imagine a place where you can take a journey to the heavens from the comfort of a chair! Well, space traveller – Welcome to the EsploraPlanetarium! Sit back, turn your phone off and enjoy the journey! As your seat reclines, you will be transported across the Solar System, visit distant 10 OH MY MALTA
galaxies, return to the Moon and whizz past our sister planets Venus and Mars. The Sun will reveal its secrets, and of course will find out once and for all if it is true that we are all made of star dust. Not bad for a start, but the EsploraPlanetarium offers much-much more! We have shows for the little ones about ancient heroes and myths retelling stories of old about the constellations and how they were named. We have animated adventures about discovering asteroids and landing on the Moon. You can even tag along a family of aliens holidaying in our Solar System hopping from one planet to the next.
