Professor Aristóteles Orsini Planetarium, Planetarium in Ibirapuera Park, São Paulo, Brazil
The circular building contains a projection dome spanning 18 meters in diameter with 300 reclining seats arranged beneath for astronomical presentations.
The planetarium opened in January 1957 as the first astronomical facility of its kind in Brazil, initially using a sophisticated Zeiss projector imported from Germany.
The Municipal School of Astronomy within the planetarium complex provides educational programs, from basic astronomy courses to advanced cosmology studies for São Paulo residents.
The facility operates on weekends for general public visits through a ticketing system, while weekdays are reserved for scheduled school group presentations.
The projection system combines a Starmaster device from Carl Zeiss with 44 supplementary projectors to create detailed representations of celestial phenomena.
