     At around 3pm today (August 31), protestors gathering at Causeway Bay are setting up barricades and blocking the carriageways at Hennessy Road, causing serious obstruction to the traffic.  They are participating in an unauthorised assembly.

     The Hong Kong Space Museum's new Omnimax show, "Volcanoes: The Fires of Creation", will be launched tomorrow (September 1). Audiences inside the dome of the Space Museum will witness the most dangerous situations during volcanic eruptions and learn about how the whole process helps to create ecosystems and habitats on Earth.

     Volcanoes seem dangerous and destructive, but in fact they have helped create the world for billions of years. From the continents to the air that humans breathe and even life itself, all have origins related to volcanoes. With more than 500 active volcanoes, Earth keeps bursting at the seams with the forces of mass construction.

     In the show, the audience will follow explorer Carsten Peter as he dodges boulders at the edge of an active volcano in Indonesia; descends to a lava lake in Vanuatu; visits incredible acid ponds, geysers and mineral deposit fields in Ethiopia; travels to the archaeological ghost town of Pompeii; and witnesses the devastating effects of the recent Kilauea eruption in Hawaii.

     The 42-minute show will be screened until April 30 next year at the museum's Stanley Ho Space Theatre. It will be screened daily at 1.30pm, 5pm and 8.30pm.

     Tickets priced at $24 (front stalls) and $32 (stalls) are available at the Hong Kong Space Museum Box Office and URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk). The museum is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays).
