■ Space Week took off at Expo 2020 Dubai yesterday, with visitors able to experience a packed calendar of planetary-themed entertainment till October 23, featuring nebula music, stargazing and immersive experiences.

■ Until October 23, Al Wasl Plaza dome — the world’s largest 360-degree projection surface — will host an audiovisual show ‘Cosmos’. Fly into space and journey through the stars, as planets zoom past seemingly within touching distance.
