Planetariums nowadays include special effects, laser technology, and state-of-the-art sound systems that reveal a galaxy that might otherwise be shrouded in cloud and city light. Some planetariums also hold laser shows where laser graphics, animation, and midair-beam displays are choreographed to music by artists such as Pink Floyd, Metallica, and the Beastie Boys.

On this page: Dictionary Encyclopedia WordNet Wikipedia Translations Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping planetarium Dictionary plan·e·tar·i·um plăn Ä­-t¢r ē-əm n. pl. -i·ums or -i·a An apparatus or model representing the solar system. An optical device for projecting images of celestial bodies and other astronomical phenomena onto the inner surface of a hemispherical dome. A building or room containing a planetarium, with seats for an audience. Encyclopedia planetarium, American Museum of Natural History in New York City, was established the following year; in 2000 a new, much more sophisticated Hayden Planetarium was installed in the museum's Rose Center for Earth and Space. By the end of the 20th cent. there were more than 100 major planetariums worldwide and, mainly at schools and colleges, about 1,000 smaller ones. A mechanical device known as an orrery (for Charles Boyle, earl of Orrery ) was a forerunner of the planetarium. It is a framework supporting globes that represent the sun, planets, and natural satellites in their approximate sizes and spatial relations and in their revolutions and rotations. Several orreries were built in the 16th and 17th cent. to explain the Copernican (heliocentric) model of the solar system. Today the orrery finds considerable use as an aid in the teaching of celestial mechanics.
