PLANETARIUM

3D Films - The Dome - Planetarium - FAQ

Using our Stellarium and Celestia planetarium software, a multitude of night sky objects can be displayed, manipulated and visited. The nature of the 360 degree dome allows objects to be displayed and tracked as they would appear in the night sky. Subjects which may ordinarily be difficult to grasp, such as the path of the stars, planets or moon, become easy to understand when viewed in our planetarium. We have a standard planetarium show for each level of the WA science curriculum (Earth and Beyond) and can further tailor our shows to meet the specific needs of your school.

Stellarium

Stellarium is our planetarium software that renders the sky in real time. Everything that you can see with your eyes, binoculars or a telescope can be displayed in 360 degrees. Stellarium is used to demonstrate the path of the stars, planets, moon and sun across the sky. We can zoom to any object and manipulate it, demonstrate astronomical events such as a solar eclipse or view the constellations with artwork stemming from Greek mythology.

Stellarium makes astronomy fun and easy to understand.

Celestia

Celestia is our space simulation software which lets you explore the universe in 3 dimensions. Unlike other planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the Solar System to any of over 100,00 stars, or even beyond the galaxy.

All movement in Celestia is seamless, the zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from clusters of galaxies down to individual spacecraft. Our Celestia software is loaded with a large catalogue of stars, planets, moons, galaxies, comets, asteroids and spacecraft, so there is plenty to explore.
