Centro de Ciências e Planetário do Pará

The Center of Sciences and Planetarium of Pará contains multiple exhibition halls focusing on astronomy, geology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, evolution, and biodiversity.

Established in 1999, the institution became the first planetarium in northern Brazil, named after Sebastião Sodré da Gama, director of Rio de Janeiro National Observatory.

The permanent exhibition on bioculturality illustrates the connection between humans and the natural environment through collaboration with the university herbarium.

The planetarium dome accommodates 100 visitors and features a Zeiss ZKP-3 optical-mechanical projection system for celestial observations and astronomical presentations.

In 2012, the facility expanded its scientific focus by transforming the Science and Education Space into a comprehensive center for natural sciences.
