The community of Auxilium Barasat went for an outing to the science city. Journey to Kolkata was interspersed with fun, nibbling on snacks, recital of rosary and Antakshari of Marian hymns to honour our blessed Mother on the eve of her feast Our Lady of Holy Rosary.

The first stop was at the space Exploration hall followed by 3D vision Theatre.  The show was about the launching of satellites by rocket and the preparations and gadgets required for the astronauts to land in other planets other than earth.  The second show was   Science on Sphere – Dynamotion Hall where we learned a lot about the solar system and mother earth.  The most exhilarating experience was at the Science exploration Block where we were ushered into the hall of emerging technologies. From here we climbed into digital panorama of human evolution. This was followed by a twelve minutes dynamic film with possibility of voice over in three languages on human evolution, projected on a giant cylindrical screen. From here we went to the last show in this block which is Evolution of life – A dark ride.   We were taken in a slow moving electric car for a mesmerizing experience supplemented by special light and sound effects.

After the fellowship meal the last part of the outing was the divine encounter with St. Theresa of Kolkata at her tomb.
