Already a Handful! Come Celebrate with us MSC’s Fifth Anniversary

This December, Macao Science Center has prepared a series of entertaining activities to celebrate 

its 5th Anniversary. 

As one of our 5th anniversary main attractions, on 28th of November, our Planetarium will launch 

“Cocomong - A Space Adventure” Dome Show. As the winner of the “Best Children Production 

Award” in IPS-Macao International Fulldome Festival 2014 and the “Audience Award” in 2012 

International Planetarium Movie Festival, this Dome Show tells our young audience about the 

predicament our alien friend Halley is trying to solve with their help of Cocomong and his friends. 

The Virus King stole the Star Gems and kidnapped his parents. Cocomong and his friends will try to 

save Halley’s parents and retrieve the Star Gems that were stolen. Will they succeed? Don’t let your 

children miss out on this mission; bring them to the Macao science Center’s Planetarium! 

Have you ever heard about DNA Transcription and Translation? Do you know who Gregor Mendel 

was or who Paul Berg is? This December, the Center is going to open its new themed featured 

gallery – the DNA Gallery where visitors can learn the basics of DNA and biotechnology, such as cells,

genes, chromosomes, cloning technology and so on. 

During our celebration month, the Center is going to feature the all-new science drama “The Rocket 

Trilogy Chapter 2 – The Nations of Spicy and Sour”. Through the funny and light-hearted dramatic 

performance, the audience will see the delicate balance between science and morality. 

The Center will also open the Award-winning Works Exhibitions of both the “2014 Macao Science 

Center Multimedia Design Contest”, and the “Macao Science Center on Camera” Photo Contest 2014 

in the Lobby Exhibition Gallery. Here, the public will have the opportunity to admire the works of the

interactive exhibits and digital photography to visually express MSC’s unique structure and 

educational activities. 

As its holiday tradition, to celebrate our anniversary, the Center will offer free admission to the 

Exhibition Center for all visitors and free admission for the first 30 local Macao residents to each Dome 

Show at the Planetarium on the 19th of and 20th of December. In addition, from 19 December 2014 to 4 

January 2015, seven Dome Shows will be scheduled starting at 11 a.m. daily. For details, please refer to 

the Center’s website at www.msc.org.mo. 

Finally, the Center will hold its “2015 Macao Science Center Multimedia Design Contest”, which will 

open for entries from 3 December 2014. This year our successful contest will focus on two categories: 

the “Science Education Video and Model Making” and the “Short Video Production”. If you are
