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.

Planetarium Jakarta (Taman Ismail Marzuki) has a 22 m (72 ft) dome and 200 seats

That makes it one of the large domes, built for big public shows. The largest planetarium domes in the world are about 35 m across; a classroom dome is 5 to 8 m.

It runs an optical star projector, the Zeiss Universarium VIII, together with a Zeiss Powerdome digital system: the star ball gives pinpoint stars, the digital system fills the dome with video.
