Planétarium de Strasbourg, Astronomy center at University of Strasbourg, France
Planetarium de Strasbourg is an observatory at the University of Strasbourg equipped with advanced projection technology that displays celestial movements and space phenomena across a domed ceiling. The venue uses the circular architecture to create immersive presentations suited to viewers of all ages.
The facility was founded in 1982 and quickly became a major educational hub for astronomy in eastern France. Since then it has been continuously updated with new technology to offer current teaching tools.
The planetarium serves the local community as a gathering place where schools and families explore the sky together, while university researchers share their work with visitors.
Sessions last around 75 minutes and run throughout the year with specialized programs tailored to different ages and knowledge levels. Plan ahead and check which show matches your interests and age group before visiting.
A popular show for children follows two animated squirrels named Nino and Lilli who travel through the solar system hunting for nuts. This entertaining story makes complex astronomy concepts easy to understand for young visitors.
