Planetario di Reggio Calabria, Planetarium and astronomy museum in Reggio Calabria, Italy.
The Planetarium di Reggio Calabria is an astronomy facility featuring two dome structures of different sizes for sky projection. An outer 12-meter dome works together with a smaller 8-meter suspended dome to create immersive views of the heavens from various angles.
The facility opened in March 2004 and quickly became an important astronomy center in Italy. By 2013, it was selected to host national astronomy competitions, showing its recognition in the scientific community.
The facility has become a center where people gather to discover space and astronomy through immersive experiences. Schools and families use it as a place to explore fundamental questions about the universe and our place within it.
Visitors should allow time for their eyes to adjust to the darkness inside the domes to fully enjoy the projections. It helps to check ahead which shows or programs are available during your planned visit.
The projection system can display nearly 5000 stars and shows realistic movements of celestial bodies across seasons. This allows a scientifically accurate experience of the night sky without needing an actual telescope.
