Chasing the Aurora with Wil

Always wanted to see the Northern Lights?

Professional photographer, astronomer and stargazer Wil Cheung, is hosting a special event in Life’s planetarium where he’ll reveal key insights into how, when, and where to experience the Aurora Borealis, and show incredible footage of the phenomenon.

Wil has seen the Northern Lights more than 350 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 see the stunning phenomenon.

Deepen your understanding of one of nature’s most awe-inspiring displays in this talk in Life’s immersive 360° dome and see some of Will’s mesmerising images in all their glory. This will be followed by an incredible NEW animated show which was created in house. Life: The Greatest Story explores the origins of life and whether it exists elsewhere in the universe.

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

Wednesday 6 August – 6:30pm – 8:00pm and 8:30pm – 10:00pm

Pay bar available.
