"Space rules" at Oakland's "excellent" "cosmic" museum, a "universe" of scientific "amusement" that's "worth the trip over the Bay Bridge"; its three telescopes make it the "place to be during meteor showers", so go ahead and "view the wonders of the sky" – just keep in mind that, like voyaging to the Red Planet, it's "tricky getting here"; N.B. while a film in the giant dome cinema costs extra, general admission includes one planetarium show.
