Wide angle photograph of the Spacedome The Spacedome is an inflatable planetarium operated by Scitech staff. The multimedia shows combine a special stellar projector with computer-generated images and animations of our universe.

Thirty-minute multimedia presentations use the latest technology to show computer generated images and animations of our universe in an inflatable planetarium. The Spacedome can be set up in any large indoor space (8m diameter, 4m high).
