Planetary

Located in Enrique Tierno Galván Park, this center invites you to explore the cosmos and its history. Concerts under the stars, exhibitions, observations under the supervision of experts... all the activities organized by this institution with over twenty years of experience are aimed at a single goal: discovering the secrets of the Universe in a fun way. The Madrid Planetarium reopened its doors in 2017 after undergoing a major technological renovation, made possible by a collaboration agreement between the Madrid City Council and Obra Social "la Caixa". The renovation provided the center with new exhibition spaces and a modern, high-quality projection system that, with powerful astronomical software, allows us to travel from our surroundings to the far reaches of the Universe. In the Projection Hall, you can enjoy various full-dome audiovisual presentations. The fulldome video system produces a unique immersive effect, placing the viewer inside the scene. The live view of the sky is provided by the Megastar2 planetarium projector, which offers amazing optical quality. The Planetarium also houses a shop/bookstore where you can purchase stationery, gifts, educational and teaching materials, and a fair trade line of products. It also has a catalog of astronomy-related books.
