Sendai Space Museum, Astronomical museum and observatory in Nagatoshi-chō, Japan

The Sendai Space Museum is a planetarium and working observatory located in the city, featuring interactive exhibits on space exploration and celestial objects. The facility displays scientific instruments, planetary models, and detailed information about space missions alongside equipment used for observing the night sky.

The museum was established in 1998 as a regional center dedicated to astronomy education and space science research. This opening represented a significant milestone for science communication in the Sendai area.

The facility maintains a schedule of educational programs teaching visitors about astronomical events through interactive displays, models, and informative panels.

Visitors can explore the exhibitions during daytime hours or join special evening observation sessions on Saturdays. The facility is well-organized and allows sufficient time to see all areas thoroughly.

The observatory houses a telescope with a large aperture that can reveal faint stars during night sessions. On special evenings, visitors can look through the instrument themselves and explore the sky.
