Rovereto Planetarium

A unique structure in the Province that makes space travel possible around the Earth, inside the International Space Station, on the Moon, and even beyond the Solar System.

The structure makes it possible to reproduce a realistic sky in a room, projecting the different celestial objects and their visible motions. Thanks to the innovative full-dome digital projector, equipped with sophisticated software, it is possible to watch extremely immersive shows on various themes, making space travel possible in orbit around the Earth, inside the International Space Station, on the Moon, and even beyond the Solar System. Discover the calendar of shows here.

The Planetarium is the ideal tool for both the public and schools to better understand the laws that make the sky appear as we see it.

In addition to its educational value, the Planetarium is a special place, where one is confronted with the magic of a sky perfect for night-time observation. It is a sophisticated instrument that joins the Monte Zugna Astronomical Observatory in unveiling the mysteries of the starry sky.

The Planetarium is located in the garden of the Museum of Science and Archaeology, one of the locations of the Fondazione Museo Civico di Rovereto.

The immersive and interactive exhibition at the Planetarium in Rovereto involves not only the eye, but also touch and hearing.

The exhibition is divided into three very different spaces, dealing with the history of space exploration, the elements of the solar system and what lies outside it: stars, nebulae and galaxies.

The journey through the Universe begins by entering a typical spaceship environment, which recounts the main stages of robotic and human exploration of Space.

It then passes through the Solar System, where all the planets of the solar system are encountered with their characteristics, reconstructed to scale especially for the museum, finds from meteoric events and a real lunar meteorite to touch.

The route ends with a wormhole, a section on deep space where you encounter objects that are increasingly distant, surrounded by nebulae, clusters of stars and galaxies, to go further and further into the Universe.

There is also a special path dedicated to six female scientists who have made great contributions to astronomy and space science.
