Explore the heavens at Copenhagen's planetarium, with its state-of-the-art equipment cap-
able of projecting more than 7500 stars, planets and galaxies in its domed Space Theatre.
The centre also screens IMAX and 3D/4D films on subjects ranging from sea monsters to
Irish rockers U2. While the films are narrated in Danish, English-language headphones are
available at the ticket counter (Dkr20).
The planetarium was named after the famed Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe
(1546-1601), whose creation of precision astronomical instruments allowed him to make
exact observations of planets and stars, and paved the way for the discoveries made by
later astronomers.
