The Tycho Brahe Planetarium is a theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark, dedicated to astronomy education and entertainment. It features a domed ceiling used as a screen to project images of celestial objects. Named after the renowned Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, the planetarium opened in 1989. Brahe was known for his precise astronomical observations and the development of advanced instruments before the invention of the telescope. His observatory, Uraniborg, was a state-supported facility that produced extensive and reliable astronomical data. The planetarium continues this legacy by offering immersive experiences of the night sky and space science.1234
