AOP is a special, historic and unique organisation, which over many decades has captured the public’s interest, enthusiasm and imagination in astronomy and science. It has played host to a range of high profile programmes and exhibitions, as well as providing a significant and extensive education programme which ranges from pre-school to adulthood, and to both a local and international audience.
The Planetarium itself is a major tourist attraction in Northern Ireland, and a key driver for the local economy, hosting a range of major celebrations including those linked to AOP’s own internationally recognised frontline scientific research.
