Beijing Planetarium
Beijing Planetarium is the first large-scale planetarium in China, a national-level specialized science museum focusing on natural sciences.
Beijing Planetarium consists of two halls, namely Hall A and Hall B, featuring a total of four popular science theaters.
The Planetarium in Hall A is the largest flat-horizon astronomical hall in mainland China. Equipped with the Zeiss IX optical planetarium and the world's highest-resolution all-sky digital projection system, it not only realistically reproduces over 9,000 visible stars on Earth for an audience of 400, with an impressive 8K resolution spherical dome display but also facilitates various functions such as virtual celestial demonstrations, three-dimensional simulation of the cosmic space, and digital program playback.
Hall B was officially opened at the end of 2004 and includes three popular science theaters: the Cosmic Theater, 4D Theater, and 3D Theater. It also houses various popular science education facilities such as an astronomical exhibition hall, solar observation terrace, public observatory, and astronomical classroom.
The Cosmic Theater, with a diameter of 18 meters, features a standard hemispherical all-sky screen, capable of presenting a magnificent three-dimensional celestial dome effect for an audience of 200 simultaneously.
