The Melbourne Planetarium is housed within Scienceworks, now a part of the Melbourne Museum.
The Planetarium is a 150 recliner-seat theatre featuring a 180¼ visual dome. Multiple banks of slides create visual panoramas and overhead vistas within which are projected video footage.
Immersive multi-channel surround audio combines with the expanded visual to create a stylized heightened sensory experience.
The Melbourne Plantarium produces 3-4 shows per year, each running for around 45 minutes. 4 different shows are programmed throughout each day, each show aimed at a target age group.
Launch Pad is for early-teens and presents an overview of our planetry solar system in the form of a Top 10 Radio Countdown programme.
The bulk of these tracks have since been reworked to form the live set of The Planets - forthcoming on CD through Sound Punch Records. The Opening Theme appears on the Decomposition CD on Sound Punch Records.
