Centro de Ciências e Planetário do Pará, Scientific research institute and planetarium in Belém, Brazil
The Centro de Ciências e Planetário do Pará is a research institute and museum with multiple exhibition halls covering astronomy, geology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, evolution, and biodiversity. The planetarium dome seats 100 visitors and uses an optical-mechanical Zeiss projection system for astronomical observations and presentations.
The institution was founded in 1999 and became the first planetarium in northern Brazil. It was named after Sebastião Sodré da Gama, who served as director of Rio de Janeiro's National Observatory.
The permanent exhibit on bioculturality shows how people and the natural world are connected, supported by collaboration with the regional university herbarium.
The planetarium room offers an intimate setting for sky projection with limited capacity per showing. Visitors should arrive before presentations begin since seating is limited and each session displays different celestial views.
In 2012, the facility expanded its scientific focus by transforming the Science and Education Space into a natural sciences center. This reorganization allowed visitors to engage more directly with hands-on science experiences.
