When I heard all the concern about its closing, I didn't realise it was
the only one in London. Cleveland (about 1/20 the size of London) has
one and another about 50 miles away in Canton.
What's the nearest one to London now?

We used to have two. Back when I was a kid, the Cleveland Schools operated
a planetarium in what was then the Supplemental Science Center downtown on
Lakeside. It hasn't been operated as such in years, first being converted
into a science magnet school, and now it's an administrative building.

I went to one near the radio dish in Cheshire but it was so dumbed down
it would have met the criterior for the link. I wonder how log before
some genius comes up with a dished monitor.

Has the Greenwich Planetarium not reopened yet, after it's 15 million
pound refurbishment?

Not yet; the new galleries are open, but the new planetarium will not open
to the public until spring 2007, which could be any time up to June 21st.
The old planetarium at Greenwich, very small with an older projector, is
still open.
