[Left] : Komtar building is a short ferry ride away from the mainland. (See darkened area in photo.) It is the most recognizable structure from across the channel.

The Komtar crowd is as diverse as the exihibition works on display.
Across languages, races, cultures, that is the spirit of astronomy; That is the goal of this roaming exhibition.
Everyone was here to learn more about the universe.
