Canadian science museum Telus World of Science, based in the city of Edmonton, has announced that two new spaces designed by architectural practice Dialog have opened.

The Zeidler Dome – an immersive theatre and planetarium – and the S.P.A.C.E (Stars, Planets, Astronauts, Comets, Etc.) Gallery – a space exploration gallery – are now open to the public.

Frank Florian, director of planetarium and space science at Telus World of Science, said: “We’re very excited and proud to debut both the Zeidler Dome and the S.P.A.C.E.Gallery and we’re looking forward to sharing the excitement with our guests.”

The spaces give visitors the opportunity to unravel the mysteries of the solar system through exhibitions that allow them to warp the space-time continuum, manually create pulsars, command a lunar lander and travel to the surface of the moon.

The planetarium immerses guests in the night sky and distant galaxies in 10K resolution and invites them to see the Aurora Borealis – commonly referred to as the Northern Lights.
