Being the centre of modern scientific developments of the region, it is natural that Guwahati houses the most advanced planetarium in NE. The outer look of the establishment is a mix of a mosque and a landed UFO and it attracts thousands of visitors every year, mainly school kids. A premier centre of astronomical research in Assam, Guwahati Planetarium offers beautiful shows on planetary movements and celestial happenings, thanks to the use of the advanced Japanese Goto GX instrument. It remains closed on Sundays and operates from 11.00 AM to 4.00 PM for six days. It is located in the Latasil area of Uzan Bazar and conveyance is not an issue at all.
