Description

The Brussels Planetarium is one of the most important planetariums in Europe and a leading attraction in Belgium. The planetarium has an international scientific reputation, and is one of the largest in Europe, with its dome of 23 metres (75 ft) in diameter,

planets, the Milky Way and more than 8,500 stars
can be projected.

The Zeiss UPP 23/5 projector of the planetarium was made up of 119 projectors and was built by the Carl Zeiss company of Jena.[2] In April 2021, the planetarium opened its newly renovated dome, equipped with eight state-of-the-art Barco projectors. The projectors were installed by RSA Cosmos, who also provided the latest version of its powerful astronomical software, SkyExplorer 2021.[3]
