Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by mmmoo: [B]The London Planetarium show that takes viewers on a journey from Earth to the Edge of the universe, will be replaced by a show about celebrities! From the Times Online: Madame Tussauds has decided that the Planetarium, in Baker Street, Central London, which has taught thousands of schoolchildren about astronomy, physics and space exploration since the 1950s, will be better served by a show about a different type of star. Madame Tussauds has cut screenings of the three-dimensional Journey to Infinity at the Planetarium, renamed the Auditorium, from forty-five minutes to ten. It will reopen in July with a show about celebrities. Teachers, children and astronomers have written dozens of letters of complaint about the demise of the light show, which takes viewers on a journey from the Earth to the edge of the Universe.
