The Space Between: Music and the Cosmos with Rhian Sheehan

Stardome Observatory & Planetarium from Te Whatu Stardome | Observatory + Planetarium

We warmly invite you to join us at Te Whatu Stardome for a conversation with multiple award-winning New Zealand musician and composer Rhian Sheehan.

Rhian’s work as a composer is incredibly diverse, spanning film, television, video games, multimedia installations, exhibitions and multiple planetarium shows screened across the globe. From Netflix to NASA, the Natural History Museum to the UN Headquarters — Rhian’s music has an almost universal reach from his recording studio in Wellington.

With no shortage of avenues for his musical output, Rhian has consistently been involved with space-adjacent projects, including numerous sci-fi and fulldome planetarium shows. We’ll discuss how and why Rhian returns to music that evokes the atmosphere, beauty, and excitement of exploring space and the unknown.

This session will also feature the New Zealand premiere of Rhian’s latest fulldome project, One Step Beyond: A Journey to Mars from the National Space Centre in the U.K.

Friday 12 December 2025, 7pm. Tickets $25/$20 (or $12.50 for annual pass holders).

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? 🚗🛒

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!

So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
