We are very pleased to “officially” announce that David Tennant is the narrator of the new Fulldome digital planetarium show We Are Astronomers.
The script is finished and ready to be recorded by our narrator.
Here’s a Tag Cloud of the script that shows the most frequently used words, the bigger the word the more we use it!
It gives an interesting perspective of what the film is all about.

Next week we hope to reveal the narrator of the new Fulldome experience We Are Astronomers.
Anyone got any ideas who they think would do a good job of talking about astronomer’s and what they do? Who would inspire you to think about our place in the universe? Or who’s voice do you just love the sound of and would like to be surrounded by in a giant dome!?
Please post any ideas below in the comments section.
We had the opportunity to screen the latest work-in-progress version of We Are Astronomers to a group of 13-18 year olds last week in our dome. It was all a bit low-res and blocky with temporary music and voice over but the general consensus was a big thumbs up!
We have already taken on-board some of the comments and incorporated them into the latest version.
If any of you from the focus group are reading this, please post your comments, good or bad!
Thanks again to all those who helped out.

I’m sure not many people outside of the “space” world are aware of this but 2009 is officially the International Year of Astronomy! What does this mean? Will it be as popular as 2008’s International Year of the Potato?
Well, we are very excited about IYA2009 (it’s nickname). There are lots and lots of great events and websites around at the moment, the best place to find out what is happening near you is http://www.astronomy2009.co.uk/ for those in the UK.
The international site http://www.astronomy2009.org/ is also worth a look to see what is happening around the world and find your countries IYA site.
We Are Astronomers is an official IYA project and will be launching across the UK 23 May 2009.
We have moved from the default wordpress theme and are starting to give the site it’s own look and feel, let the tweaking begin. The little people you see at the top are just one of the styles of animation used in the final show, the target audience is everyone on planet earth, hopefully everyone will enjoy it! There are going to be realistic looking scenes, data visualisation, characters, rides and reflection and lots of other exciting, immersive sequences, we’ll let you know what subjects the final show covers leading up to launch.
