Carmo Planetarium

The Carmo Planetarium is a facility in eastern São Paulo housed under a copper dome where astronomical shows take place. Inside the 20-meter dome, around 230 visitors can recline in comfortable seats to watch presentations about the sky.

This facility opened in 2005 and features a modern projection system for displaying celestial objects. The creation of the planetarium was part of a larger investment in science education for the city.

This place serves as a teaching hub where visitors explore the night sky and space science through different programs. People come here to watch presentations that help them understand how the cosmos works.

The building also contains a classroom space, reading areas, and exhibition rooms for additional learning. On a rear terrace, two telescopes are available for observation if conditions allow.

The projection system uses thousands of glass fibers and lenses to cast the starry sky realistically onto the dome ceiling. This technology allows celestial objects to be displayed with great precision and detail.
