There's a new sky show about the origins of the universe at the Hong Kong Space Museum
Be absorbed into the vastness of space at the Hong Kong Space Museum, which has launched a brand-new sky show in their circular dome-like Space Theatre. The 'Starmap to the Unseen Universe' show takes audiences on a journey that traverses space and time across 13.8 billion years in search of the universe's origin. The Milky Way is a galaxy that comprises hundreds of billions of stars, including the solar system that we exist in. Our Sun is just one of the stars within this immense cosmic system – how's that for feeling like an inconsequential speck? This space show, however, explores beyond the boundaries of the solar system and out towards the spiral arms of the Milky Way. Audiences can experience the birth and death of stars, see the all-consuming power of a black hole, and witness the collision and merging of galaxies into an even larger galaxy. Catch 'Starmap to the Unseen Universe' in the Hong Kong Space Museum until November 14. Tickets are priced at $30 for front seats and $40 for stalls, available on Urbtix and the museum box office. Do note that the museum is closed on Tuesdays, and check out details of the show here.

Tickets for a pair of additional shows by Hong Kong-American comedian Jimmy O. Yang were snapped up in less than an hour on Tuesday, with some online resellers offering seats at a mark-up of more than 140 per cent. A Post reporter who visited ticket platform Urbtix at 10am observed that it took more than 30 minutes to get into the queue for sales, with more than 40,000 listed as waiting at one point. All the tickets available were listed as sold out in an hour. Tickets for the two recently added June 15 shows at the Hong Kong Coliseum were priced at HK$380 (US$48.60), HK$580 and HK$780. Yang, who was born in Hong Kong before relocating to the United States in 2000, had earlier announced the two extra shows after the first two on June 13 and 14 also sold out within minutes. A check on the online platform Carousel showed some users reselling tickets for as high as HK$1,400 on Tuesday afternoon.
