The opening ceremony of Planetarium (Nay Pyi Taw) of the Ministry of Forestry was held near the Zoological Gardens (Nay Pyi Taw) the other day, attended by Secretary-1 of the State Peace and Development Council General Thiha Thura Tin Aung Myint Oo. The planetarium (Nay Pyi Taw) was established with the aim of serving as a public recreation centre, gaining knowledge and arousing the youth’s interest in astronomy. The design of the planetarium and all the structures were built by Myanmar engineers. In the world there are very few nations that can build modern planetarium and there are over 300 planetariums only. Advanced technology-installed and digital planetariums can be built in some developed nations. Opening of the modern planetarium (Nay Pyi Taw) in the International Astronomy Year in the early 2009 is something Myanmar has done that she should be proud of. The planetarium includes the main hall, the lecture hall and it is installed with modern equipment. Opening of the planetarium (Nay Pyi Taw) for younger generation to enable them to keep abreast of the development of other nations shows the improved image of Myanmar to the world and it is a feather in the nation's cap.
