\nFor astronomers, planetariums have always been invaluable places for appreciating the movement of stars, reproduced in the past with rather fanciful projection techniques.
\nToday, the planetarium domes, rather than study tools for specialists, have become tourist attractions for those interested in the mysteries and vastness of the cosmos, reproduced in 4K<\/strong> on large surfaces. The Maloka Dome<\/strong><\/a> in Colombia,<\/strong> for example, boasts 20 million pixels<\/strong> to reconstruct the night sky and its fascinating movement.
\nTo build the installation, five Christie Mirage 304K<\/a><\/strong> projectors that generate 150.000 lumens,<\/strong> able to make every visit as engaging from the point of view of the show as it does on the academic and scientific side.

\nIt can be said, in fact, without fear of denial that digital projection has changed the way planetariums operate like the Maloka Dome<\/a>:<\/strong> the technology achieved allows them to project images of the stars almost in real time. In practice, all objects known in the solar system and beyond can be explored without the visitor having to leave a comfortable reclining seat.
\nIn short, the academic and entertainment worlds meet and share techniques to explain and clearly explore even the most complex topics, taking advantage of the best projection technologies currently available.
\nEach of the five Christie Mirage<\/a><\/strong> projectors, with 3DLP technology<\/strong> and 30.000 lumens,<\/strong> covers 20%<\/strong> of the curved dome from 22 meters<\/strong> to 180-degrees,<\/strong> lighting up the imagination of visitors and… aspiring astronauts!
