Terrestrial Planetarium
This terrestrial planetarium is an interactive installation focussing on the first four planets in our solar system. It consists of a construction holding transparent globes containing the most important elements of their visual appearance.
At the front of the construction there is a projection of our star; the Sun. When a planet is touched, an infographic shows up at the position of the Sun, displaying the basic information and their most fascinating characteristics.
The purpose of this planetarium is educational, where art and science is combined to educate in an effective and playful fashion, ultimately stimulating a fascination for astronomy.
