Copernicus Planetarium

The Copernicus Planetarium is an area inside the Museum of Technology, found in the Mall. The easiest way to get there is to take Anacostia Crossing Station to the Museum station and to take the Museum of Technology exit from there.

Background
Before the war, several events were featured around the planetarium, such as the Spaceflight Gallery, the Virgo II Moon Lander replica, and the G-Force simulator ride. The planetarium itself allowed for a tour of the stars. All exhibits were sponsored by the United States Space Administration.

Movies were shown in the Copernicus Planetarium, including:


 * "The Long Road to Mars": A simulated flight through the stars from our Earth to the Red Planet.
 * "Journey Beyond the Universe": What lies beyond our universe? A theoretical journey farther than anyone's gone before.
 * "We're All Just Stardust": A program that asked the simple but thought-provoking question "Where did we come from?"
 * "Zany Planet Show": Program where visitors could join Captain Space Galaxy as he travels the solar system and visits each of the worlds within it. Recommended for kids 4 – 10 years old.

Layout
The planetarium consists of the main hall with the projector in the center of a circle of seats for the audience. The audience circle also contains the show control terminal. To the side is a maintenance room which consists of tools and other supplies. The Lone Wanderer can activate the display, starting the show, which will play in a loop until turned off.

Loot
There is nothing in the planetarium itself, but there is a small equipment cache left in the maintenance room. Inside is a Nuka-Cola Quantum and a locked weapons locker.

Appearances
The Copernicus Planetarium appears only in Fallout 3.
