The kids and I went to the preview of Hubble 3D at Imax theatre in Darling Harbour.  The Hubble is a space telescope that brings down images of the Cosmos to Earth.  This footage follows the astronauts of the Atlantis STS-125 crews mission to go up to the Hubble to repair the telescope.  


This is an amazing 3D experience for kids who have a interest in space. My youngest son got a little bored but my 12  and 9 year old loved the film.  The quality of the 3D really brings you along on the journey.

Hubble 3D will screen at IMAX Darling Harbour from 12 August 2010. The film has been rated G 

and has a running time of 43 minutes. Please visit www.imax.com.au for viewing times.
