Work is on track to be completed at the brand new planetarium at Sherwood Observatory by the end of November.
The dome is now ready to be transformed into the planetarium which will transport visitors out of this world.
Work is now due to start on the internal areas with a specialist planetarium contractor coming in to fit it out with everything it needs – including the screens and the projectors.
It will feature 59 seats as well as disabled access with a 10 metre diameter screen that will go inside the dome showing tours of the solar system and beyond.
The project team will also get to work on the groundwork outside of the planetarium to get it ready to welcome visitors.
Councillor Matthew Relf, Executive Lead Member for Regeneration, Growth and Local Planning at Ashfield District Council, said: “It is wonderful to see construction of the new Planetarium and Science Discovery Centre nearing completion. It has been a monumental effort by all involved.
“It will be a fantastic place for schools and youth groups as well as individuals and families to come and see shows about space and about science. We know this will light the fire and passion
