Discover Cosmic Wonders: Hong Kong Space Museum to Screen New 3D Dome Show "Explore 3D"

Hong Kong Space Museum to screen new 3D dome show "Explore 3D"

The Hong Kong Space Museum is screening a new 3D dome show, "Explore 3D", at its Space Theatre from today (October 15). The show will lead audiences across centuries to explore the scientific journey and abstract laws of physics in an immersive visual experience.

Through a series of stunning and richly detailed scenes, the show bridges the past and future of astronomy while transporting audiences to see how pioneering scientists reshaped mankind's understanding of the Universe and gradually uncovered the mysteries of celestial motion. From tracking the relative paths of the Sun and the Moon across the zodiac to help in predicting eclipses and placing the Sun, rather than the Earth, at the centre of the Universe, to developing laws of physics that help calculate orbits of spacecraft, and more, these insights laid the foundation for modern space exploration, paving the way towards the dream of landing on Mars.

The 28-minute show will be screened until July 14, 2027. Screening times are 2pm and 6.30pm on weekdays and 12.30pm and 5pm on weekends and public holidays respectively. Tickets priced at $30 (front stalls) and $40 (stalls) are now available at the Hong Kong Space Museum Box Office and URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk). For details of the show, please visit (hk.space.museum/en/web/spm/shows/3d-show/explore-3d.html).

The Hong Kong Space Museum, located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays).

Major Sports Events Committee awards "M" Mark status to three events

The following is issued on behalf of the Major Sports Events Committee:

The Major Sports Events Committee (MSEC) has awarded "M" Mark status to the Link Hong Kong Open 2026 (October 22 to 25), the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes 2026 (October 30 to November 1) and the Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open 2026 (October 31 to November 8).

The Chairman of the MSEC, Mr Wilfred Ng, said today (October 15), "We are very pleased to award 'M' Mark status to these three high-level international sports events. Covering golf, cricket, and tennis, these events will gather world-class players to compete for honours in Hong Kong. From the Fanling Golf Course of the Hong Kong Golf Club and the Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground, to the exciting showdowns at the Victoria Park Centre Court, these major events fully demonstrate Hong Kong's outstanding capability in hosting diverse international competitions. These events will not only bring extraordinary spectating experiences to local residents and visiting tourists, but also further consolidate Hong Kong's position as an international sports event capital."

The "M" Mark System aims to encourage and help local National Sports Associations and private or non-government organisations to organise more major international sports events and nurture them into sustainable undertakings. Sports events meeting the assessment criteria will be considered for "M" Mark status by the MSEC. Funding support will also be provided to some events. The "M" Mark System aims to promote the development of major sports events, cultivate a sustainable sporting culture, enhance Hong Kong's image as a centre for major international sports events and bring tangible economic benefits to the community.
