" Hall of Ocean "

Visitors entering the 4800 square feet exhibition hall will welcome by the huge blue whale with its graceful body gestures. By the side of the whale, a cylindrical, section of the ocean depth stands erect towering above all the exhibits in the gallery. It comprises a variety of bizarre creatures at different levels of the zone.

The gallery also seeks to explain the rise and fall of the tides, the significance of Estuaries in maintaining ecological balance, phenomenon of El-Nino &La-Nino, Beaufort scale the measure of wind speed, methods of harnessing power from ocean, navigation instruments and so on. With a surfeit of working models as well as still models ,replicas of sea creatures, marine artefacts, information kiosks, and digital installations the gallery presents a cosy and inviting ambiance.

Astronomy Gallery

" Astronomy Gallery "

The gallery ‘Astronomy – unveiling the universe’ - an interactive space that takes visitors on an immersive journey from ancient sky-watchers to cutting-edge space telescopes at Regional Science Centre and Planetarium Calicut. The gallery begins by revisiting the contributions of ancient astronomers such as Aristotle, Ptolemy, Aryabhata, Bhaskara, and Copernicus. This is followed by a light-animated model of the Samrat Yantra. A life-size statue of Galileo Galilei observing the heavens through his telescope is an attraction. Interactive exhibits demonstrate the Moon's phases, Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, transits, occultations, and eclipses. A large-format video wall brings to life the story of the Big Bang. The Solar System zone showcases the planets. An interactive exhibit allows visitors to know their weight in different planets. Further sections delve into the constellations, asteroids, and the minor planets. Exhibit ‘Cosmic Explorer’, visitors can explore how different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The Cyclorama zone immerses visitors in a vivid astronomical landscape. Topics such as Exoplanets, Astrobiology, and the Kepler satellite’s contributions broaden our understanding of the possibility of life beyond Earth. Einstein’s spacetime curvature is exhibited through multi-touch interactive kiosk. Scaled models of the Hubble Space Telescope, its famous repair mission, and the James Webb Space Telescope are also present.
