This one-hour show, led by an astronomy expert, is a perfect opportunity to lie back, relax and get in some virtual travelling before the school holidays end. On Saturday January 5 at 10.30am, the Johannesburg Planetarium also presents Space Travel, designed to offer a younger audience — five- to eight-year-olds — the chance to journey in a giant rocket with Thomas the astronomer to a game reserve, and then on to the moon and beyond.
