We were all wowed by the effects I felt at one point I could have left my seat and touched VLTs when they appeared.My partner felt queasy as the earth turned upside down.AMAZING GO SEE!!

While i was in turkey (Kalakan-it's very small but beautiful) i saw the dipper constallation in the night sky, the ISS and made out a lobster constallation. I love thinking about stars, planets and space travel, me and my dad talk about this and he was explaning to me that light from stars doesn't travel in a straight line. And that if you went in a space ship quite a far distance away from earth (speed of light - not possible yet!) and saw a star explode then traveled back to earth and saw it again it would be like a time machine. i know thinkng about that sometimes can make your head go funny or you can't visualise it but in some way i always can. Kate, (possible future astomnomer) thank you,

It's fantastic that the show has inspired you to consider a future career in astronomy. If you'd like to learn more about astronomy and the exciting things that happen in the sky in your area check out: http://www.heavens-above.com/ Thanks Kate.

It's made me realise there's so much more to being an astronemer than thought. I'm in high school and i really enjoy science! now the show i watched (at the national space center) was inspiring for me to become an astronomer. i loved how it was 3d it made things more enjoyable.

It's wonderful that it has inspired you to get more involved in astronomy. It's infinitely more interesting looking up at the night sky when you know about some of the truly amazing things that are out there; have you had a go at Galaxy spotting yet?

It is always a challenge when trying to represent such abstract concepts in an immersive and visual way. Interestingly this is actually a part of We Are Astronomers that has received a lot of positive responses from teachers bringing their students to the Space Centre. Hopefully we got across the main point of that scene, which is how astronomers choose different parts of the spectrum to investigate different astronomical objects. We hope you'll visit us again soon and when you get your dome installed can we come for tea? Thanks for the feedback Mark.
