Prepare yourselves for an adventure into the cosmic unknown with "Dark," a fulldome movie that dives into the enigma of dark matter – you know, the elusive 80% of the universe's mass that's basically playing hide-and-seek with us. Ever wonder why the cosmos is the way it is? Or what the heck makes it tick? This flick aims to tackle such hefty questions while reminding us that our fleeting lives are just a blink in the grand timeline of the universe. So, in those glorious 45 minutes, get ready to feel humble as we unravel the vastness of time and space.

Guiding us through this celestial conundrum is the brilliant Dr. Alan Duffy, a young astronomer who spends his days crafting simulations of dark matter using supercomputers – basically, the adult version of building Lego castles but on a much grander, mind-boggling scale. He'll share why dark matter is a hot topic in astronomy circles, and you might even learn why radio astronomy is the shiny tool of choice for teasing out its secrets. So, if you're up for a cosmic journey that's perfect for both kids and adults, grab your tickets and join us at the Queen Victoria Museum on March 18. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might just impress your friends with your newfound cosmic knowledge.
