Trailer HERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO4ZWJlROwE)

For who is in Sydney and around, what about organise to watch it together?

It looks like Melbourne will get it as well. I have never been to Imax but I sure want to see this one.

[Matt Wastell]

A worthy tribute to Hubble!

:eyepop: hey that looks cool :)

And narrated by Leonardo Decaprio too :thumbsup:

[gary]

Thanks for the heads-up and will definitely be going to Darling Harbour
to see this one! :thumbsup:

The flight depicted I gather is the one where Megan McArthur was a crew member.
Border Stargaze was lucky enough to have McArthur come to Albury/Wodonga
last year and I know Petra (aka Spacezebra) was ecstatic just to have her
sit in the passenger seat of her car and drive her to the event. I commented to
Petra that her passenger seat would be a conversation piece whenever anyone sat
in it in the future. All Petra has to say is "Do you know you are now sitting in the same
seat that a NASA astronaut once sat?" :) Thankfully Petra has resisted trying
to simulate high G-force take-off's at the traffic lights to enhance the experience as well!

Great story there Gary :thumbsup:
Cheers Kev.

[lacad01]

Definitely look forward to seeing that :thumbsup:

Is that for those of us that are only mildly interested in astronomy? :)

[erick]

OMG! I just have to go - several times!

Someone please send out a big HEADS UP when you see that it has hit Melbourne IMAX.

Edit - I have sent Melbourne IMAX a query.

[Octane]

Gary,

If you view the trailer, you can see Megan in it. :grin:

H

[erick]

Surely no-one is fixated on Megan? :D :whistle::ashamed:

[Spanrz]

You should also see the IMAX moon one, narrated by Tom Hanks. Even with my one eye, I still got good effects, just not like alot of you with 2 eyes.

Update:-

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your email. Regarding your enquiry, 'Hubble 3D' is due to be released here at IMAX Melbourne on May 20th. I suggest checking in with our website every now again for any updates relating to its release.

Kind Regards,

Caitlin List
Duty Manager
IMAX Melbourne

:thumbsup: Anyone for a group booking of IISers and their families?

[etacarinae]

Damn. Looks like I won't see this in Perth. May have to make the trip to Melbourne or Sydney to view it, unless the SciTech - Horizon Plantetarium exhibits it. Alas, it won't be in 3D :(

[bluescope]

There are IMAX cinemas at Carousel and probably other locations around Perth metro area ... you never know your luck !

:thumbsup:

[M54]

Looking forward to this, thanks slippo and eric.

I saw the ISS imax film and it was awesome!

[mill]

I'm in for that Erick.

[erick]

Great, now how do we remember??? I think I have it in my work diary. Probably the best place.

[mill]

I will remember, i will :P

[etacarinae]

That's not the real IMAX. Hoyts EQ IMAX is utilised at Carousel. Hoyts EQ IMAX is 273 square metres, compared to Darling Harbour's real IMAX @ a whopping 1015 square metres.
