Planetarium Sultan Iskandar, Science center in Kuching, Malaysia.
The planetarium contains a 15-meter diameter white dome with four projectors that display astronomical phenomena and educational content about space exploration.
The facility opened its doors on March 1, 1989, marking a milestone as the first planetarium constructed in Malaysia with a budget of 33 million ringgit.
The institution serves as an educational hub where students participate in space science workshops, astronomy camps, and specialized training programs throughout the year.
The German-manufactured Zeiss projector system presents detailed views of 5,000 stars, moon phases, and astronomical effects during regular scheduled shows.
The planetarium incorporates MirrorDome technology since 2007, enabling enhanced digital presentations while maintaining traditional optomechanical projection capabilities.
