<\/p>\nA mobile planetarium allowing people to immerse themselves in the night sky has opened in Hull.<\/p>\n
Planetarium Go UK will remain in Queen Victoria Square until Sunday 26 April.<\/p>\n
Hull is one of the five locations on the attraction’s country-wide tour, which includes London, Manchester, Sheffield and Northampton.<\/p>\n
Organisers said they wanted to bring astronomy and science closer to communities in cities and towns that were hard to reach.<\/p>\n
Jos\u00e9 Jim\u00e9nez, CEO of Planetarium Go UK, said: “Our objective is clear: to bring science to places where it has not reached before.<\/p>\n
“We want children, young people and families to enjoy an immersive experience that sparks scientific curiosity and brings the universe closer to everyday life, regardless of where they live.”<\/p>\n

Seven-year-old Chloe was among the first in the city to visit the portable dome structure in which a number of films about the universe are projected onto a huge cinema screen.<\/p>\n
“It was amazing, so beautiful, and it was stunning,” said the youngster.<\/p>\n
“You could look up and it felt like you were actually in space.”<\/p>\n
Jimenez said he hoped the attraction would encourage more people to “engage with science and to love it”.<\/p>\n
“It’s all very exciting at the moment with astronauts heading off into space. It’s the perfect moment,” he added.<\/p>\n
