Get ready to dive into the mysterious world of dark matter with a show that's as enlightening as it is intriguing. Join the smart folks at the Launceston Planetarium for the fulldome movie "Dark," where we tackle the cosmic riddle of the universe's missing mass—yep, that invisible stuff that makes up a whopping 80% of it. Dr Alan Duffy, a young whiz from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, will be your guide. He's the kind of guy who sits in front of supercomputers, getting all nerdy with simulations of dark matter evolution, and trust us, he's got some fascinating insights to share about why this elusive matter is the best-kept secret of the cosmos.

So, bring your curiosity (and maybe a snack or two), because Alan's going to take you through the whys and hows of dark matter. Spoiler alert: radio astronomy plays a big role in this galactic scavenger hunt. Mark your calendars for Thursday, January 30, 2025, and swing by the Queen Victoria Museum in Invermay to catch this out-of-this-world experience. Just a heads up, tickets for adults are $9.62 while kids can sneak in for $7.51. Who knew cosmic mysteries could be so affordable?
