One ticket to space please.

At school, Science was always one of my favourite subjects, Physics in particular. Now working in PR, I never really get the chance to explore this interest as much as I would like. There is always the odd programme on TV covering amazing facts about the Universe and our planet, but the images on my normal, everyday TV will never do it justice.

Last weekend I decided to take a trip to Greenwich with my boyfriend to visit the planetarium. Surprisingly, even with such a a big interest in science, this was my first visit.

To be fair, the museum was standard, with the usual school kids running around, and the odd interactive screen. But the real amazement was the observatory. The latest showing was 'The Violent Universe", narrated by Patrick Stewart (Good Ol' Paddy).

It's quite difficult to explain, but you basically lay back in a seat looking up at a big dome, which then plays the film. The amazing view you get of space and our Universe is pretty astounding. For a mere £6.50 it is definitely worth the money!

All that is left for me to do now is to buy myself a ticket to space. I wonder if Richard Branson will give me a free ticket.
