Living in Peru
Israel J. Ruiz
Peru's Minister of Education, Jose Antonio Chang and the executive president of Peru’s Geophysical Institute, Ronald Woodman inaugurated a modern planetarium in Lima on Thursday.
The new National Peruvian-Japanese Planetarium, which has been named the Mutsumi Ishitsuka Planetarium, is located in Ate-Vitarte, one of Lima's easternmost districts.
Its dome is made of carbon fiber and has an enormous screen on which representations of the heavens will be projected for tens of thousands of school students every year.
It has been estimated that the new planetarium will be visited by at least 60,000 school students per year.
With the help of the Japanese government, a device that cost more than $500,000 to purchase will produce an accurate representation of the entire night and images of deep space for the country's children.
More information on the new planetarium can be requested at secdir@axil.igp.gob.pe.

Hey I work there! so I was present when the inauguration took place. It's a small room with a 40 people capacity but the projections were impressive.
