night sky onview in Domes
n Housed within three giant curved domes, Yorkshire's only planetarium was based within the landscaped grounds of Harewood House, home of the Queen's cousin the Earl of Harewood.
n Visitors to the planetarium got the chance to lie down and view a perfect duplicate of a real night sky. Once everyone was comfortable the lights dimmed and the stars appeared.
n A Zeiss projector gave the visitor the chance to see the night sky in it’s purist form, without light pollution and atmospheric interference.
