AETHERIOS Hybrid system has been installed in the 5.5 m dome of the Mogami Large Area, Educational Research Center in Yamagata Pref. as their fourth planetarium system.
This is the first delivery of the Aetherios Hybrid system in the world.
The planetarium of Mogami Large Area, Educational Research Center was reopened in January 2022 and will be used for local school use and science training, etc.
GOTO INC (President: Nobutaka Goto, Fuchu City, Tokyo) has developed a new planetarium projector, AETHERIOS, for small diameter domes. AETHERIOS was announced at the International Planetarium Society Virtual Conference 2020, held online on August 3rd, 2020. Aetherios is a new type of optical projector that supports a small dome diameter 4m to 12 m ( 13 feet to 40 feet), but still reproduces a "Precise and beautiful starry sky" like conventional planetarium equipment. The diameter of the main projector is only 28 cm (11 inches), slightly larger than basketball, (24.5 cm), and the weight is 18 kg, about the weight of a 5-year-old child. Though it is compact and extremely light, Aetherios has the same quality and features of larger, more expensive optical planetarium systems.
