‘EQUINOX’ was formed in April 2003 with the sole purpose of propagating the science of Astronomy.
‘EQUINOX’ conducts planetarium shows for schools within the school itself. This is made possible with the help of our State-of-the-art PORTABLE PLANETARIUM SYSTEM.
Equinox Planetarium has been creating memories long before any other portable planetarium; it has had a long and colorful history. With it, over a million students have gotten their first, and in many cases their only, in depth look at an unspoiled night sky.
The ‘EQUINOX’ Planetarium is installed within a mere 40 minutes in the school itself. The planetarium comes right at your door step.
It essentially negates unnecessary field trips to fixed planetariums which besides being time consuming also disturb the regular time-table of schools. This makes it beneficial even for schools that are located in cities with concrete planetariums.
Our Planetarium shows are INTERACTIVE; an experienced seasoned Astronomer takes the students through the shows in an interactive manner befitting the age and knowledge of participating audience.
Equinox also endeavors to fulfill one of the objectives laid down in the fundamental duties prescribed by the Constitution of India under PART [IV-A] Article 15, (h)
Learning Ambience in Fun & Frolic
Triggers spirit of Scientific Enquiry
Unique learning Tool
Exhibiting internationally acclaimed Planetarium shows
Which states: “It shall be the fundamental duty of every citizen of the country to develop scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform.”
We are the first ones to initiate the radical concept of portable planetariums in India, and have always been using the latest projection technologies that are present in the world.
We enjoy what we do and believe that our work in communicating the excitement of astronomy and other sciences to thousands of students a year is important.
Since inception in April 2003, Equinox has successfully conducted Planetarium shows for over 1700 schools spanning across 16 states of India and whilst doing so has achieved exceptional feedback and recommendations.
Having achieved the above, it is worth mentioning that we are the PIONEERS in the field of designing and conducting interactive portable planetarium shows in India.
Other than Schools EQUINOX under its corporate social responsibility conducts many workshops for the underprivileged and children of special needs.
By the very nature of the Planetarium, which is portable, the organization’s core activity remains to visit Schools, Institutions, and Rural Outback, not to mention Institutes for special children at their location.
