The
planetarium
has
a
small
gallery
of
exhibits
relating
to
astronomy
(both
related
to
India,
and
globally),
but
you
see
this
only
as
a
preliminary
to
the
main
focus
of
the
planetarium,
which
is
the
show.
The
show
at
the
planetarium
is
in
two
languages:
English
at
11.30
AM
and
3
PM,
and
Hindi
at
1:30
PM
and
4
PM.
Tickets
for
each
show
cost
Rs
80
for
an
adult,
and
Rs
50
for
a
child
above
4
years
of
age.
The
show
is
about
40
minutes
long,
and
the
ticket
counter
opens
half
an
hour
before
the
start
of
the
next
show.
As
soon
as
you’ve
bought
a
ticket,
you
can
enter
the
planetarium
building
and
spend
the
time
until
your
show
starts
looking
at
the
exhibits,
which
include
some
interesting
information
on
ancient
astronomy,
planets,
the
sun,
outer
space,
and
more;
an
old
space
suit
worn
by
an
Indian
astronaut;
information
about
missions
to
the
rest
of
the
solar
system;
etc.
For
the
show,
you
go
into
the
Sky
Theatre,
which
is
a
circular
theatre
with
a
high
domed
roof.
Try
to
get
a
seat
as
near
the
centre
as
possible;
this
way,
when
the
show
projects
onto
the
sides
of
the
theatre,
you
won’t
be
having
to
crane
your
neck
right
around
to
see
what’s
happening.
The
show
covers
lots
of
interesting
facets
about
the
solar
system:
its
evolution,
how
mankind
has
perceived
the
solar
system,
how
studies
and
explorations
have
been
carried
out,
and
what
facts
have
been
unearthed
about
other
planets,
asteroids,
comets,
etc.
It’s
informative
and
visually
very
striking.
