Priyadarshini Planetarium
Melhor época para visitar
Weekday mornings are the quietest, but since the hall is dark and cool, it works just as well all year round. All shows are indoors too, so neither rain nor heat matters.
Dicas para economizar
The show usually costs less than a hundred rupees and students often get a discount, so a whole family does not have to break the travel budget. Check the show times in advance, the shows only run a few times a day.
Recomendado para
Families with children, People curious about space and science, Groups who want some cool air on a hot afternoon
Planeje sua visita
One hour for the show itself, more if you stay at the museum next door
Sobre
Fatos rápidos: A sala em forma de cúpula tem dezoito metros de diâmetro e comporta 180 visitantes reclinados sob um teto repleto de estrelas. A estreia ocorreu em 1994, como uma das primeiras instalações digitalizadas do país, e as sessões ainda hoje são exibidas em malaiala e inglês.
Destaques: A escuridão, a luz tênue das estrelas e o som surround fazem a cúpula parecer uma máquina do tempo quando o projetor leva o céu milhares de anos para trás. O zoom pode ir de todo o circuito da Via Láctea até uma única lua, algo raro mesmo entre os grandes planetários.
Dicas de quem conhece
- Sit in the middle of the hall for the best sense of depth, along the edges the stars become distorted.
- Check the schedule in advance, there are only a few shows per day and the hall is closed in between.
- Combine your ticket with the science museum next door for the same price and twice as much to explore.
- Keep your camera in your bag during the show, photography often disturbs both the staff and the projection.
