Morro Solar Planetarium

Morro Solar Planetarium, Digital planetarium in Chorrillos district, Lima, Peru.

Morro Solar Planetarium is a digital dome in Lima equipped with advanced projection technology to display celestial bodies and space phenomena. The facility also contains natural science collections, including fossils and meteorites from different geological periods.

It is Peru's first astronomical observation centre, built and directed by engineer Víctor Estremadoyro Robles on the summit of the Morro Solar. In 2010 it gained a digital projection system, becoming one of the country's most modern planetariums. The site museum also holds 19th-century instruments, including the telescope of writer Ricardo Palma.

The ground floor holds Ichma archaeological pieces found in the Morro Solar area, alongside a small display of military gear from the War of the Pacific recovered on the hill. Astronomy and astronautics paintings and dioramas complete the room, which serves as an antechamber to the main observatory hall.

The planetarium sits on the summit of the Morro Solar in Chorrillos, reached by road up the hill; the building has two levels, with the site museum on the first floor and the projection dome in the observatory area. Allow time for the climb and for walking between the museum rooms and the dome.

The collection includes Lower Cretaceous fossils and various meteorites that show how Earth developed over millions of years. These objects offer a tangible look at the natural history of our planet and the cosmos.
