Editors Note:
Visit the planetarium and get to know your planet and the stars. Watch the fabulous Sky Theatre programmes. Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium was founded by the Bangalore City Corporation in 1989. The Planetarium has a 15-metre diameter dome with a seating capacity of 210. It is equipped with a 'Space master' Planetarium projector and is used not only for shows but also for teaching astronomy. The Sky-theatre Programme is supported by a topical exhibition of posters. Arrangements are made for the public to view comets, solar eclipses and planetary transits etc. Portable telescopes are arranged in the open area and public watch events through these.
