Date: April 21st, 2018 4:27 PM Author: clear home yeah the number of planets have actually DECREASED since I was a kid so planetariums have even less info now than they did when I was super into them
like a natural history museum or an art museum can have visiting exhibits so even if you've been there a million times you can see something new. a planetarium can't say "okay for the next six months we have a visiting exhibit about some planets created by a dutch master that are different from our own" |

which planetarium would you recommend? |
|
Date: April 21st, 2018 5:17 PM Author: clear home to be a PLANETARIUM, you must have a dome-shaped room where stars can be projected onto the ceiling. Anything without this feature is just a science museum.
For example, the Air and Space Museum in DC has all sorts of cool exhibits about planets and spaceships, but because it lacks a circular room for starshows it cannot claim the prestigious title of PLANETARIUM |
