Join us tomorrow night for a special Glasgow Science Festival Planetarium Lates! We're teaming up with UofG Institute for Gravitational Research at University of Glasgow, to celebrate the city’s role in some of the most groundbreaking astronomical discoveries of recent years 🗓 Fri 6 June // 🕖 7pm 🔗 glasgowsciencecentre.org/planetarium-la…

Although there was a wee flurry of folk who picked up their tickets last night, there are still a few left for tonight's Planetarium Late as part of Glasgow Science Festival! You'll have to be quick though!

We're really looking forward to today's Scottish SpaceSchool event, held in partnership with University of Strathclyde and Glasgow City Council, and to welcoming NASA's Doug Wheelock and Joel Montalbano to Glasgow Science Centre!

Happy Solstice! Today is the longest day of the year as our planet is tilted most towards to the Sun in its orbit in the northern hemisphere. We have 17 hr 34 minutes of sunlight today!

Don't think we'll ever get bored of looking at images from the Rubin Observatory. This portion of the Virgo Cluster (one of the closest large galaxy clusters to us) really showcases the complexity of galaxy interactions.

The Rubin Observatory is set in the Atacama Desert, Chile, high atop the mountain Cerro Pachón and far away from the lights of the closest towns. This gives it the perfect vantage point for its mission to rapidly survey the sky and discover new asteroids, supernovae and more!

Want to know more about the Vera Rubin Observatory? We can visit it in our stargazing shows! On Sat 5th July, we are running a Planetarium Late focusing on this incredible facility and the discoveries it has already made. Get tickets: glasgowsciencecentre.org/whats-on/plane…

Happy aphelion day! Today, the Sun is furthest from the Sun that at any other time this year. skyatnightmagazine.com/space-science/…

The Planetarium at Glasgow Science Centre will be CLOSED on Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd for staff training. We still have three floors of brilliant exhibits, free workshops, and our NEW Superhuman Science show to explore. We'll see you on Wednesday 23rd!

It looks like you're excited for the first in this year's series of David Elder Lectures, because there are only a handful of tickets left for Wednesday 17 September. Get yours before they go! glasgowsciencecentre.org/whats-on/david…

After a year of scientific scrutiny, a rock sample collected by the Perseverance rover has been confirmed to contain a potential biosignature. The sample is the best candidate so far to provide evidence of ancient microbial life on Mars. go.nasa.gov/4n35lVM
