Jhamandas Watumull Planetarium, Science planetarium at Bishop Museum, Honolulu, United States.
The Jhamandas Watumull Planetarium contains a GOTO Chronos II projector displaying 8,500 stars and a Digistar 4K full-dome system for space exploration.
The facility, which opened in December 1961 as Kilolani Planetarium, has welcomed more than six million visitors during its continuous operation at Bishop Museum.
The planetarium served as a training center for Hawaiian navigators, including Nainoa Thompson, who studied traditional navigation techniques without instruments during the 1970s.
The planetarium facility accommodates 64 visitors per show and requires on-site ticket purchases at the museum admission desk for entry to daily presentations.
The theater combines astronomical presentations about Hawaii with simulated voyages across the Pacific Ocean using advanced projection technology and detailed star mapping.
