Museum TNI AL Loka Jala Crana

Public shows at Museum TNI AL Loka Jala Crana: Yes

Navy museum with small planetarium. Check the official site for the current schedule and tickets before you go.

A planetarium show is the one astronomy outing that clouds and city lights cannot cancel. Most public shows run 30 to 50 minutes; live shows, where a presenter flies the sky to tonight's planets and constellations, are the best preparation for a night at a dark site. Shows often sell out on weekends and school holidays.

Museum TNI AL Loka Jala Crana has a 7 m (23 ft) dome and 40 seats

That makes it a small dome, typical of schools, colleges and portable shows. The largest planetarium domes in the world are about 35 m across; a classroom dome is 5 to 8 m.

Its star projector is the Zeiss ZKP 1, an optical instrument that shines pinpoint stars through a ball of lenses, the classic planetarium sky.
