The Planetarium is a magical place that invites you to discover the beauty of the starry sky. Beneath a semi-spherical dome, embark on a journey where the canopy of heaven, panoramic landscapes and astronomical images blend together. This Planetarium is one of the largest in Europe.
From now on, the Planetarium of the Royal Observatory of Belgium will welcome you to a completely redesigned projection hall, with a state-of-the-art projection system made up of eight of the latest technology video-projectors providing coverage for the entire dome which is 23 metres in diameter.
The visitor will thus be immersed in a fascinating image projected on the dome covering 840 m2. Furthermore, thanks to an astronomy database containing more than 100.000 stars, it’s possible to travel among the planets, to fly above Mars or even approach the rings of Saturn! And why would we stop there? Do you dare to go beyond the limits of the solar system, even the Milky Way! Would you be tempted to explore the extremities of the Universe?
