  Textruta: You could describe a planetarium as an artificial starry sky. You will use a planetarium projector to show the sky (or whatever you want) on the inside of a hemisphere, a dome. You can for example show the apparent motion of stars during the night or the year. You can follow the motions of the planets or the Moon's phases. 

Today there are two main kinds of planetarium projectors; the opto-mechanical or "classical" ones, and the digital projectors. 

STARLAB opto-mechanical projectors (with its different projection cylinders) can show lots of other things in the dome, such as the constellations, a world map with wether systems or ocian currents, and, why not, a biological cell, that your students can experience from inside.

When you use a digital planetarium, such as Digital Starlab or Spitz Scidome, you have lots of other possibilities. The image on the dome is generated in a computer with huge databases and images of stars, planets, moons and other objects one could find out there. You project the images using a video projector with a fisheye-lense  onto the entire dome. You can show the local sky as it is, and you can do much more. You can travel freely in space and room. Land on the Moon or Mars, travel in real time with the International Space Station ISS. You can actually make the ultimate journey outside the Milky Way, our galaxy. You can use it to show films or images, also in full dome, as well as play your own audios.

Many planetariums still today choose opto-mechanical projectors (as a classical Spitz-projector), which gives more beautiful stars than the digital projectors do. Yet one may want to be able to show films and programs in the dome (a so called Full Dome Theater). Warped Media is such a system made for planetariums in sizes from 7 to 18 metres. Going digital doesn't mean that you have to take your old projector out.
