Space Junk
3D OMNIMAX SHOW3D OMNIMAX SHOW4 5
Since the dawn of the Space Age in 1957, thousands of artificial satellites have been launched and only around
1000 are still in operation. Through these years, many space vehicles were launched with astronauts on board,
such as Apollo space crafts, Skylab, Soyuz and space shuttles, to carry out various missions. These space
vehicles also left huge amounts of mission-related objects like cast-off bolts, connected rings, rockets debris,
left-over fuel, and so on. Together with the malfunctioned satellites, all became space junk, creating an orbiting
junkyard of cast-off space debris.
Each of these little pieces of debris whizzes around in its own orbit at a speed of about 10 km a second --
more than six times faster than a speeding bullet. The kinetic energy at that speed is about 36 times that of
an equivalent mass of TNT. The tragic consequence caused by these orbiting debris was later known as The
Kessler Syndrome after Donald Kessler, the ex-head of NASA's Orbital Debris Office. Kessler had predicted
that random collisions among these manmade objects would produce debris more dangerous than natural
meteoroids in space. The resulting chain reaction would create exponentially clouds of debris and it would
seriously affect our daily live and also endanger human life.
Starting from 1 January 2013, a new 3D Omnimax Show Space Junk will guide the audience to the Earth
orbits, witnessing the heavy traffic where satellites constantly crossing each others paths within a short
distance. This can happen around 1,500 times a day. And we shall see how scientists devised new schemes toclean up space. Modern civilization relies heavily on satellites: GPS, weather forecast, financial trading, satellite
TV and other aspects of living are examples of our profound linkage to the space. The alarming fact is: we have
created a mine field in space and we are treading on it everyday.

Flying Monsters
220 million years ago, back in the Mesozoic Era, it was the heyday of reptiles. They were the rulers of the Earth.
The world was full of various kinds of reptiles: marine reptiles dominated the ocean, dinosaurs reigned on land
and pterosaurs occupied the sky.
Pterosaurs were the first backboned animals that took to the sky. They dominated the sky for 150 millionyears. But how did they evolve from reptiles as small as lizards into large flying creatures with a wingspan over
10 metres? Why would they know how to fly? How did they fly? To answer these questions, we shall follow
world renowned British naturalist David Attenborough to different parts of the world to look for fossils of the
pterosaurs so as to have a better understanding of the evolution of these huge prehistoric beasts as well as
their amazing body structures. State-of-theart technology will be used to unveil the mysteries of pterosaurs that
have puzzled scientists for decades.
By using advanced computer animation technology, the Omnimax Show Flying Monsters takes the audience
back to the prehistoric world 220 million years ago. It will explore the evolution process of the pterosaurs, make
known their lives and the characteristics of different types of pterosaurs. What is more, the audience will soar
high into the sky with the largest pterosaur ever and the mystery of how these gigantic creatures could fly will
be unravelled.

To the Arctic
Lets come and join our extraordinary journey to the northern tip of the world, where the vast expanse of
permafrost is dominated by spectacular landscapes of immense glaciers, majestic waterfalls, giant ice shelves
and amazing auroras. Here is one of the Earths most frigid places to live, but many wild animals have adapted
to the hostile environment and settled here.
As global warming quickly escalates into a global warning, the fragile and vulnerable Arctic climate has been
seriously affected. With less ice to reflect the Suns rays, the Arctic is warming at a rate twice as fast as
anywhere else on Earth. Scientists predict that in the near future, the Arctic Ocean will be completely free of
sea ice during summer time. Wildlife is also threatened by the grave impact. Polar bears have to swim longer
distances to search for food because of the dwindling sea ice cover. Caribou have to migrate to grassland
earlier than before, because of floods caused by premature melting of ice in early spring.
The new Omnimax Show To the Arctic takes audience to the pristine Arctic Circle, explores how wildlife
copes with the worsening environment under the threat of global warming. The audience can witness from a
close distance the lives of a mother polar bear with her twin cubs, and in an inspired story of love and survival,
see how she protects her children from fierce and ruthless enemies.

Tales of the Maya Skies
SKY SHOWS SKY SHOWS10 11
The Maya civilization has long given us a mysterious and unfathomable impression. Date back to 300B.C. or
more, highly developed Maya civilization emerged in the present day Yucatan Peninsula of South America. The
Maya had their unique hieroglyph writing and they used the concept of zero in calculation 800 years earlier
than the Europeans. With the knowledge of mathematics, they built the most ancient observatory to record the
ascending and descending positions of the Sun, the Moon and other celestial bodies. Even before telescopesand fraction calculations were invented, they had already accurately calculated the occurrence of total solar
eclipses and created a calendar based on the cycle of the Sun.
Unfortunately, in the 16th century, due to the invasion of the Spanish, the Maya civilization was destroyed
and even vanished, the wealth of which was thus buried in the forest. It was not until the mid-20th century
that archaeologists set foot in this green forest and the relevant historical remains were brought to light again.
However, the Maya civilization had already become a mysterious and ancient legend.
Our brand new Sky Show Tales of the Maya Skies will together with the audience unveil the mystery of the
Maya civilization, witness an ancient legend of the creation of the world, admire the remarkable achievements
of the Maya in astronomy and mathematics as well as learn how science, art and myths were interwoven to
create a brilliant ancient civilization of 2000 years.

From Earth To Mars
Steps Towards the First Human Mission to the Red Planetto be conducted in English
The first human mi ssion to Mars will be humani tys greatest undertaking in space exploration i n the 21st
century. As with all expeditions, its success will depend on planning. The first steps towards a human journey
to the Red Planet are already underway, as we achieve longer spaceflight missions, plan for new deep space
journeys, and explore extreme environments on Earth viewed as Mars analogs. Dr. Pascal Lee will discuss
progress being made around the world, from the Arctic to Antarctica, from basement labs to the International
Space Station, to eventually achieve the voyage to Mars. He will examine in turn the what, why, how, when,
and who of the First Human Mission to Mars.
Speaker : Dr. Pascal Lee (Director, NASA Ames Research Center Haughton-Mars Project)
Date : 6 April 2013 (Saturday)
Time : 3:00 p.m. 4:30 p.m.Place : Lecture Hall
