Peter Harrison Planetarium London: what's on

The bronze cone leaning out of the hill beside the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, angled at the North Star, with a hundred and twenty seats inside. Shows are live-narrated by Royal Observatory astronomers rather than recorded, which is what makes it worth the ticket.
