🥳 It's our birthday!!
We're having a smashing time in our science show theatre with party balloons, cake and some cool gases 🎉
A huge thanks to everyone who has visited or worked with us over the past year, and to our incredible team for continuing to make the science centre an extraordinary place of learning, discovery, and endless fun!
We continue our celestial journey with a visit to Neptune to unravel some #PlanetFacts
In celebration of #CleanAirDay, we're pleased to announce the brand-new science show heading to our show theatre this summer - 'Our Amazing Air' 💨
Our scientists will be using the coolest demonstrations to explore the invisible gases that support life on this planet and how air quality can be improved in our cities. 🌍🍃
Prepare for the whole family to be blown away from 28 June! (free with your Day Entry ticket)

🚀✨ An out-of-this-world experience for pupils!
This week, over 450 school pupils from P4-S6 had the incredible chance to meet NASA experts, including two real astronauts!
We welcomed astronauts Michael Baker and Carl Walz alongside Dr. Nicole Lloyd and Dr. Susan Lederer, who were in Glasgow for the University of Strathclyde’s Scottish Space School.
Our special guests shared their inspiring stories in the hope of sparking curiosity in the next generation to pursue careers in engineering and technology.
We run rings around Saturn as our cosmic #PlanetFacts journey continues.

Set course for Jupiter in this week’s #PlanetFacts and learn more about this colossal celestial gas giant
Sunspot group AR3664 (a large and active region of storms on the Sun’s surface) is back with a bang, producing an X-class solar flare, the most powerful category of solar flare.
Solar flares release bursts of electromagnetic radiation from the sun’s surface due to the release of built-up magnetic energy and can disrupt radio signals and cause stunning auroras.
The sunspot, which caused the early May superstorm, is now rotating back into view. It seems AR3664 still has plenty of activity left, so we could see similar auroral events in the coming weeks...

Our #PlanetFacts journey continues to Mars, as we explore some marvelous facts about the red planet.
🦢 Our floating wetlands are buzzing with new life! Last week, our resident swans surprised us with the arrival of their adorable cygnets. See if you can spot them through the binoculars when you next visit. 👀
We've given the eight little cygnets some out-of-this-world names: Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, Sedna, Quaoar, and Gonggong. Can you guess the inspiration behind them?
We’re continuing our exploration of our cosmic neighbourhood with some fascinating #PlanetFacts about Venus!

We’re beginning our exploration of the wonders of the cosmos with some fascinating #PlanetFacts about Mercury!
It’s been over 8 months since our floating wetlands were installed in the Canting Basin.
To celebrate #WorldWetlandsDay, here’s an update on what's been happening on the islands (and some of the wildlife to look out for during your next visit!)
