"I'm doing the planetarium shows because I love the mythology associated with the constellations and the planets, and passing those stories on to future generations." - Claire

"No two planetarium days are the same, the depth and diversity of questions posed by each group makes every visit fresh and fun (as well as keeping us on our toes!). With people like Chris Hadfield and Brian Cox bringing space back into the public consciousness, it is a pleasure to be able to go into schools and share the story of the vast and epic Cosmos and how we've interacted with it over the generations, hopefully even inspiring a new generation of young scientists." - Hayden

"My interest in astronomy was lit up by planetarium shows. My quriousity and imagination quickly develped into a love for the skies. Now I want to pass down that passion the same way it was passed down onto me" - Inna
