Daily Pictures of Buenos Aires

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.

  3. 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).

  5. 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…

  15. If you are willing to buy a house, you will have to receive the credit loans. Furthermore, my sister commonly takes a consolidation loan, which is the most useful.
