WATCH: Johannesburg Planetarium reopens in February
Stargazers, this one is for you!
Following major upgrades, the Johannesburg Planetarium reopens in 2025 at the new, state-of-the-art Wits Anglo American Digital Dome.
The Dome offers a 360° immersive experience with several shows for young and old.
It will officially open to the public in February 2025, marking a new era for stargazing and science.
The first shows include a series of six full dome shows, donated by the American Museum of National History.
Wits University Vice-Chancellor Professor Zeblon Vilakazi hopes the Planetarium will continue to inspire people
"For the past 64 years, the Planetarium has entertained, inspired and educated millions of visitors from Gauteng and beyond… We hope to continue inspiring people from various disciplines including those working in climate modelling, artificial intelligence and the digital arts.”
The Dome is located on the university’s East Campus in Braamfontein.
