Silver Screen Science-Fiction Presents...
Star Trek (2009)
After losing his father on the day of his birth, James Tiberius Kirk (Chris Pine, Wonder Woman) seems destined to follow a very different path to the one we know. He has no intention to join Starfleet, would never meet Spock (Zachary Quinto, Heroes) and McCoy (Karl Urban, Dredd) or command the USS Enterprise. That is until he is recruited by Captain Pike and, thanks to the actions of the same time-travelling villain that took his father from him, is catapulted back onto the path of becoming Captain James T Kirk, with a little help from a very old friend.
See the first film in the Kelvin timeline reboot of the classic sci-fi series as we watch Star Trek (2009) in the unique venue of the Peter Harrison Planetarium. Then, stay in your seats as we take you on a tour of the science behind the fiction with a talk by an astronomer from the Royal Observatory Greenwich!

I'm planning to drive to this event. Where do I park?
The event will start within Greenwich Park's opening hours so you can arrive by car as normal. There is parking available just outside the Observatory.

I'm planning to walk/take public transport to this event. How do I get in?
