Space Museum launches new 3D dome show "Turtle Odyssey 3D" (with photos)
************************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Space Museum's new 3D dome show, "Turtle Odyssey 3D", will be launched tomorrow (January 1). Audiences will join sea turtle Bunji for a remarkable adventure and meet an astonishing range of strange and fascinating creatures, from enormous breaching whales and massive manta rays to vibrant clownfish.
 
     In the 3D dome show, Bunji's journey starts from the moment her fragile egg cracks open below the warm sand of an Australian beach. Having traversed thousands of kilometres of open oceans, she returns after decades with mysterious precision back to the very beach where she was born to lay eggs and start the next generation. Bunji's journey reminds audiences of how interconnected all creatures are, thus moving viewers to cherish these beautiful and vulnerable sea turtles even more.
 
     Sea turtles are some of the most majestic and ancient creatures on Earth. For more than 100 million years, they have traversed the seas, surviving multiple mass extinctions and playing critical roles in maintaining healthy marine food webs. Not only do these friendly animals captivate audiences, their journeys of survival are equally amazing.
 
     The 41-minute show will be screened until April 30 at the museum's Stanley Ho Space Theatre. It will be screened daily at 2.40pm and 6.10pm. An additional show at 11.10am will be available on Sundays and public holidays.
 
     Tickets priced at $24 (front stalls) and $32 (stalls) are available at the Hong Kong Space Museum Box Office and URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk). The museum is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays).
 
     For further information, please call 2721 0226 or visit the website at hk.space.museum.
