Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates COSMOS-Mysuru Planetarium, described as India’s first LED-dome planetarium. The facility is built by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics and is intended to support astronomy education and research, while also offering an immersive viewing experience.
Multiple outlets highlight the technology behind the dome, including claims about advanced, next-generation features and high-resolution 8K display capabilities. The Hindu frames the move as both a science-education boost and a tourism benefit, while Mint emphasizes the idea that “spirituality and science” can go together in the context of the new planetarium. India Today focuses more directly on what differentiates this particular installation from other planetariums in India.
