Astronomer Adrian West (VirtualAstro) brings his show, a piece of theatre mixing science, comedy and visual effects, to the Princess Theatre.
The Night Sky Show comes to the Princess Theatre on Saturday 21 November, with astronomer Adrian West taking the stage. He's better known online as VirtualAstro, and his account is one of the largest independent astronomy and space pages on Twitter. He's a passionate advocate for opening the wonders of the universe to everyday people, and he's spent years writing about it for popular online science magazines and contributing to the BBC, the Met Office and the National Trust. He also wrote the book The Secret World of Stargazing.
West bills the show as a piece of theatre rather than a dry astronomy talk. It blends science fiction and science fact with comedy and visual effects, taking the audience on an epic journey from our celestial backyard across the constellations, stars, planets, nebulae and galaxies. It's recommended for anyone who looks up and wonders.
