Chasing the Aurora with Wil at Life Science Centre

Always wanted to see the Northern Lights?

Professional photographer, astronomer and stargazer Wil Cheung, is back by popular demand.

Wil reveals how, when, and where to experience the Aurora Borealis and shares breathtaking footage of the phenomenon in Life’s immersive 360° dome.

Wil has seen the Northern Lights more than 400 times and is dedicated to helping people around the world see the aurora at its best. And with the Earth currently in the most active part of the Sun’s cycle, it’s the perfect time to experience the phenomenon.

Deepen your understanding of one of nature’s most awe-inspiring displays and see some of Wil’s mesmerising images in all their glory. The talk concludes with a chance to see Life: The Greatest Story. Produced by Life and narrated by actor Alex Kingston, star of Doctor Who and ER, this 360° immersive dome show explores the origins of life on Earth, from bacteria deep in the ocean, to the evolution of plants, fungi and animals.

Expect a relaxed, immersive experience with super comfy seats and full wheelchair access. Questions at the end are welcome.
