Overview

The documentary begins with a reference to the views and achievements in astronomy up to the present day, followed by a presentation of the mechanical planetariums built from 287 BC until today, including the Greek one that was built in 1963 and is the first in the Balkans. The camera of the show records the Director of the Planetarium, Dionysis Simopoulos and the astrophysicist George Georgopoulos, preparing a projection of the Planetarium, thus presenting to the audience the way of working for the creation of each program, while then the former talks to us about what is really the Planetarium and what it offers to society.
