Planetarium
The planetarium was built in 1966 by architect Enrique Jan. Shaped like a planet, it has a 20 meter wide cupola. Shows are projected on the inside of the cupola through a spotlight and laser system. The equipment can project up to 8900 fixed stars, constellation and nebulas.
Construit en 1966 par l’architecte Enrique Jan, le planetarium de Buenos Aires a la forme d’une planete avec une coupole de 20 metres de large. On y projette des spectacles a l’interieur de la coupole a l’aide d’un projecteur et d’un systeme laser. Ce materiel peut projeter jusqu’a 8900 etoiles, constellations et nébuleuses.

Hi, lovely blog, great to see daily pictures of Buenos Aires, a city I hope to see in the future. Just one remark: in IE, in the right column, the ‘About me’ (’My little story’) is not fully displayd, I cannot see the first character. Just to let you know (couldn’t find an email address).

Thanks for the comments
Kris — Thanks for letting me know about this IE issue. I’ll try to see if it can be fixed. I did not notice it since I’m always using Firefox. Thanks for stopping by to Buenos Aires daily too
Lisi — You’re absolutely right. It does look similar to the one in Vancouve. Let’s see if Jean will come with the same posting idea soon…

Thanks Maya
I’m really trying to work the gallery section as much as I can, and as often as possible. I like to post there all the pix I have been taking in the States. Can u even imagine how long this is going to take me 
but well we’ll see how it goes.
Bob, Nicola — Many thanks.
