Moonbase ONE

The Moon has always captivated humanity, inspiring us to leave the world behind and venture into space. Come on an amazing adventure as we strive to understand our magnificent neighbor — the Moon.

movie frame Taking place on the night of a full Moon, we join a Virtual Reality games developer as she struggles to work out what's wrong with her new game. It's set on the Moon and it's all based on real science.

The game is due for launch, but there’s a bug. Could the problem have something to do with the phases of the Moon, or how it was formed?

This planetarium show draws attention to our magnificent neighbor, the Moon. How did the Earth end up with such a large Moon?

The show features stunning visualizations of the Moon’s violent formation and captures the achievements of lunar exploration during the Apollo era. Engaging graphics model and demystify natural phenomena such as eclipses and the changing phases of the Moon.

The Moon has a great effect on our planet, and very possibly contributed to the development of life here on Earth. Moonbase ONE is an opportunity for audiences to overcome common misconceptions and see the Moon as part of our culture, our history and our scientific endeavor.
