Our Solar System: A 3D Planetarium Show

The document provides a synopsis of the 40-minute planetarium show "Our Solar System" produced by the Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium in Bangalore. The show introduces the night sky as seen from Bangalore and identifies constellations. It discusses the motions of planets against the constellations and leads to questions about whether the Sun or Earth is the center of motion. The show describes how telescopes and space missions have revealed planets and small bodies in new detail. It uses indigenously created 3D animations presented in a "Full Dome" format, which is the first time a full-fledged, indigenously created full-dome show has been produced in India.

Our Solar System

Synopsis:

The sky-theatre show Our Solar
System is a forty-minute audio-visual
program indigenously produced by
Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium,
Bangalore.

The program first introduces the
audience to the night sky as seen from
Bangalore. Prominent constellations
are identified and mythological stories
associated with some of them narrated.
Thereafter, a brief discussion about the
strange motions in planets observed
against the backdrop of constellations
is done, leading to questions about the
centre of motion of planets Sun or
the Earth. With the advent of
telescopes, even moderate ones,
planets came to be studied in great
detail beyond what the people had seen
before its invention. Telescopic
explorations apart, space missions such
as Voyagers and Pioneers unveiled
planets in a completely new light.
Thanks to these missions and some
missions such as Galileo and Cassini
landed to study specific planets and
their satellites. As a result, we, now,
have very detailed accounts of the
planetary surface features. Even small
bodies like comets have not been
spared from our space craft bound
explorations. The present planetarium
show discusses all these through
indigenously created 3D animations
and projected in a format known as the
Full Dome format. This format
facilitates entire sky-theatre dome to be
used for casting images / videos. It
gives a new, immersive feel to the
audience. This is the first time in
India that a full-fledged,
indigenously created full-dome show
has been produced.
