How many stars are there in the Milky Way? What do we know about black holes? Why do planets orbit the Sun? How does a telescope work?
Just 100 km above our heads – closer than London is to Brighton – space continues to fascinate and inspire us. Get ready for an incredible journey into the heart of the Universe. Explore the world of stars, planets and galaxies; uncover the mysteries of our Solar System; create your own Universe; listen to the sound of black holes and much more!
Prepare for a truly cosmic wow effect through 100% interactive experiences, spectacular large-scale installations, fascinating astronomical instruments and video reports (almost) live from space!
An interactive exhibition inspired by the questions asked by SPARKOH! visitors.
3 Amazing Space Exploration Zones
Test gravity on different planets, get swallowed by a black hole, create your own Universe… these are just some of the experiences waiting for you in COSMOS.
Designed to inspire wonder while making the key concepts and major theories of the Universe accessible to all, this interactive exhibition invites visitors to explore space through three fascinating zones.
Zone 1
Explore the Solar System
In this first zone, embark on a journey through our Solar System. Meet the planets and celestial bodies orbiting our Sun, discover how they rotate, what they are made of and what makes each one unique through engaging and interactive installations.
Challenges
