Event Details

LIVE showing of the first science images from the James Webb Space Telescope with the opportunity to immerse yourself in them in our planetarium

This event will showcase the first science data from the $10bn James Webb Space Telescope within the unique surrounding of the Morecambe Winter Gardens.

Arrive before 4pm to be amongst the first in the world to see the LIVE release of these ground-breaking data with experts from Lancaster University. (The livestream starts at 3.30pm).

After the main release, we will show the images in our LUniverse planetarium for an immersive experience, and you will have the chance to discuss the images and telescope with expert astrophysicsts and space scientists.

As well as the planetarium we will have a variety of space-based activities for the whole family, and you can drop in anytime until 7pm (last entry 6.30pm) to explore the Universe with us.

Note: this event is one of only four in the UK to have been selected by the European Space Agency to showcase the exciting new Webb data and is financially supported by Lancaster University Physics Deparment and Faculty of Science and Technology.

The planetarium dome is an enclosed space; we ask that visitors wear face coverings inside the dome, unless exempt. The planetarium dome is accessible to wheelchair users. When inside the planetarium most visitors will sit on the floor; if you need a chair inside the dome please let a member of our team know.

Note: photography will be taken at this event, including for use on social media.
