Sendai Astronomical Observatory

The" Sendai Astronomical Observatory" concept is "bringing the universe closer to you." This comprehensive astronomy museum has a planetarium that projects beautiful and powerful images of the starry sky, an exhibition room where visitors can enjoy learning about the universe using models and video images, and the Hitomi-Telescope, one of the largest telescopes in Japan, with an aperture of 1.3 meters.

The planetarium is a space where the starry sky fills your head, allowing you to experience the fascination of the universe. One of the planetarium attractions is the starry sky's live commentary, which varies depending on the staff. The planetarium also offers various programs for different target audiences, including "Children's Time" and "Astronomy Time," which can also be enjoyed by small children. The five charts of "starry sky," "powerful," "healing," "astronomical commentary," and "for children" can also be used as indicators for program selection.

The exhibition rooms are categorized into "Earth," "Solar System," "Galaxy," etc., and visitors can explore the world of astronomy through panels, models, and a hands-on corner.
