World’s Biggest Planetarium Achieves Jaw-Dropping 10K Resolution

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Housed in a 19th century natural gas storage building, the planetarium’s exterior is about the only thing that isn’t on the cutting edge of modernity. Inside is the world’s largest planetarium, with a half acre (2,000 square meters) of projection area within a 37-meter diameter dome.

It’s the planet’s only large-size planetarium with a dome that partially touches the floor. This expansive viewing angle makes it possible for visitors to take photos of themselves with space in the background.

And thanks to NVIDIA Quadro graphics, it’s also the world’s highest resolution planetarium, able to display interactive images of space in a whopping 10K resolution — more than 2.5x the detail level of conventional digital cinema screens.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.
