Nehru Planetarium

The Nehru Planetarium was commissioned on 3rd March 1977, to foster scientific temper through edutainment (that’s right! education + entertainment).  The planetarium has been making learning Astronomy a pleasant experience. It also has grown into a Center for the scientific study of astronomy and for a meeting of scientists and scholars for discussions and lectures, arranged periodically on various stellar and Astronomical events.

Exploring the Exhibits

The students were given about 30 minutes to explore the interactive display at the planetarium ranging from weighing themselves on the sun and moon to getting a 3D view of the moon's surface.

Sky Show

We booked a show for the students in Nehru Planetarium's iconic dome theatre in their local language to ensure that the students were completely engaged as they viewed and heard about various constellations. 

Recording what you learn

As is our custom, we gave them the interactive booklets as memories for their experience
