Our mobile planetarium service is probably the most versatile in Britain. Three different sized domes are available - Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. They are 4.5, 6.2 and 7.4 metres in diameter. We mail-shot schools in the following area's - Beds, Berks, Bucks, Cambs, Essex, Hants, Herts, Oxon, Suffolk, Surrey and W Sussex. We will consider working in any area.
