About Planetariums

What are Planetariums?

Planetariums are indoor theatres equipped with a sophisticated projector system that displays realistic representations of the night sky on a domed ceiling. They offer an immersive experience, simulating an astronomically accurate simulation of the movements of stars, planets, and other celestial objects.

History of Planetariums

The first planetarium was created in the early 1920s in Germany, and it quickly spread around the world. Initially designed for education and scientific research, planetariums later evolved to include artistic and entertainment aspects.
