- Planetarium
The Planetarium is designed to promote and present many facets of astronomy, astrophysics, and the celestial science. Over the years it has played a seminal role in disseminating knowledge and instilling interest in space science, especially among young minds. Laced with special effects and stunning visuals, the 2D shows being run in the sky theatre have made the Planetarium a popular destination for all. The Planetarium has now upgraded the earlier installed 2D Projection System to a more sophisticated and state-of-the-art 3D Projection System which will give users a visually enhanced and immersive experience. It runs 7 shows in a day in both 2D and 3D technology. The Aryabhata Gallery is a landmark recent addition to the Planetarium. It traces India’s astronomical legacy, from ancient scholars like Aryabhata to the nation’s modern space milestones achieved by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Through immersive storytelling, interactive digital installations, and exhibits on astrophysics and space science, the gallery aims to ignite scientific curiosity, nurture critical thinking, and instil pride among visitors, especially the youth. The strength of the Planetarium lies in its live interactions and innovative programmes which are being constantly improvised, over the years for visitors, students, amateur astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts. Lectures, workshops and observational activities in the field of astronomy, space science, environment etc. for school & college students and astronomy enthusiasts are organized throughout the year thereby giving the general public and students the opportunity to interact with subject experts.
