The lounge planetarium

The lounge planetarium revives the tradition of an astronomy whose scientific instruments were very precise, educational and artistic. This planetarium shows all the functions of the pocket planetarium, but with a more polished finish. This will be part of your living room.

Sunrise at the equinox

The lounge planetarium simulates the position on the sunrise, two hours after sunrise, a day of autumnal equinox. This lounge planetarium has a graduation allowing to set the latitude of the place we wish to observe. The range extends from 20° to 90° latitude.

This side shows the latitudes of featured places: the North Pole, the Arctic Circle, the Tropic of Cancer, some african ones (Dakar, Casablanca) and some european ones (Lisbon, Madrid, Paris, London, Berlin, Stockholm, Oslo ) and Tromsø, the only university town located beyond the Arctic Circle in Norway.

Pedestal table for planetarium

The lounge planetarium is usable in a lounge, but also outside, like the scientific instruments which were the attraction of the society salons of the nineteenth century. To facilitate the use of the planetarium and to embellish it, it is carried on a pedestal table.
