Never one to do things by half measures, Shanghai has added another world record to its list: city of the world’s largest astronomy museum. Set on the banks of Dishui Lake, the Shanghai Astronomy Museum – aka the Shanghai Planetarium – is also part oculus, has a giant space telescope (not yet open to the public) and is home to some very cool exhibits on the cosmos, and our place in it.
