 We're currently showing 'Dark Side of Light' at our planetarium. This show, from darksideoflight.eu , a collaboration between institutions in seven European countries, discusses the problems of light pollution and how it affects both humans and the entire ecosystem.   Flat-screen preview of our 3-language show featuring Telugu, Hindi and English voice-overs is embedded below.

 

Please note that due to traffic restrictions related to VVIP visits and the festival season at Prasanthi Nilayam, there will be no regular planetarium shows on 22 and 23 November 2023. वीवीआईपी यात्राओं और प्रशांति निलयम में त्योहार से संबंधित यातायात प्रतिबंधों के कारण, 22 और 23 नवंबर 2023 को तारामंडल प्रदर्शन नहीं होंगे। ట్రాఫిక్ ఆంక్షలు మరియు ప్రశాంతి నిలయంలో పండుగ సీజన్ కారణంగా, 22 మరియు 23 నవంబర్ 2023 తేదీలలో నక్షత్రశాల ప్రదర్శనలు ఉండవని దయచేసి గమనించండి .
