G'day All,
A sad bit of news for all those who want to learn about astronomy and are living in London. The London planetarium is not exactly closing but is dramatically altering its show content. Read this article:

What I found of particular interest is who owns Madame Tussauds and therefore by extension, the London Planetarium.
Since digital systems have been installed in planetaria, there has been an increasing drive by the "bean counters"
in charge of such operations to use the planetarium dome for purposes other than astronomy. Basically this turns a planetarium into just another cinema but with a slightly odd screen.
Peter.
