This great “machine of space and time” finally makes the sky accessible to the public, condensing centuries and light years above our heads. Under the wide 14-meter dome, a perfect reproduction of the starry sky lights up: the movements of the Sun, Moon, and planets against the backdrop of the Zodiac, the Milky Way, and 4500 stars.
Three digital projectors also allow real-time three-dimensional navigation in deep space. Touching the sky with a finger is now possible: with simulations and all-sky projections, celestial bodies, nebulas, and galaxies are truly within reach.
Rome’s planetarium offers a wide range of live astronomical shows, lectures, events, and astronomical observations aimed at every type of audience, to get closer to the wonders of the sky and delve into its secrets. A fascinating mix of emotion, technology, and scientific rigor.
The adjacent astronomical museum takes visitors on a journey from the Earth to the universe through the great themes of space, time, and the origin of elements, offering an engaging immersive experience, with large models of the planets, dioramas, and interactive multimedia stations featuring astronomical video games.
Rome’s planetarium reopens a window on the sky: an astronomical theater to reclaim the spectacle of the starry vault. And to launch into the depths of space to discover the cosmos that surrounds us.
