THE PLANETARIUM ROME EUR

Its nearly century-long history, dating back to 1928, makes it the oldest planetarium in the world outside of Germany.

The Planetarium is set up in a large room inside the Museum of Roman Civilization .

The stalls are made up of 98 comfortable armchairs, specially reclined to facilitate upward viewing, arranged in three concentric rings inside the vast dome, 14 meters in diameter. The large surface of the vault acts as a projection screen for the new and powerful digital system, a hemispherical screen of 300 square meters that offers visitors an immersive and extremely engaging vision. Illuminating the celestial bodies on the dome are two Sony laser video projectors, characterized by a high brightness and contrast ratio, which allow for perfect darkness in the night sky, realistic modulation of the shades of light and shadow of the Milky Way, and at the same time to highlight the brightest stars and the surfaces of the planets. The projection on the dome takes place at 4K resolution, making the new Planetarium among the best performing on the Italian scene.

The technological soul of the new projection system is a network of four computers that manage image processing and sound diffusion towards the room's 5+1 audio system. The heart of the Planetarium is the highly advanced Sky Explorer software , which allows you to simulate an entire virtual universe in every aspect: from the classic movements of the stars in the starry sky to the three-dimensional flyby of the planets, to the evolution over time of stars, constellations and galaxies , up to the plunge into spacetime at the limits of the visible universe.

You can visit other planets and celestial bodies, and reconstruct astronomical events that occurred in the past or predicted in the future. All by piloting the journey in first person, via a tablet, as in a real universal flight simulator. Finally, the mind - and voice - of the Planetarium of Rome are four astronomers and science communicators who, making use of experience gained in 18 years of activity, plan, compose and create the astronomical shows of the Planetarium of Rome, enriching them with their expert live narration.
