Frequently asked questions about the Hamburg Planetarium

1. why is the Hamburg Planetarium a planetarium and not an observatory?

In the Hamburg Planetarium, projectors are used to project what appears to be a real starry sky onto a dome-shaped ceiling. State-of-the-art technology is used to create these 360-degree panoramic images, which can be directed to any point in the universe - even in real time. 360-degree sound effects or laser and light systems complement the show possibilities of the Hamburg Planetarium.

In an observatory, telescopes and other research equipment are available for observing objects in space. The equipment is usually located under a dome, which is then opened so that the real sky can be observed live. In Hamburg there is such an observatory in Bergedorf.
