LOCATION: Eudio Planetarium and Observatory AREA: Near the existing Eudio Historical Museum TYPE: A space museum and public access observatory that runs frequent lessons, museum and stargazing tours, and planetarium shows. Also a gift shop. With space gifts. NOTE: While the facilities are focused on Eudio and its specific astronomy, just like with the Historial Museum there's been plenty of effort made in representing other worlds. The museum contains samples and models of various spacefaring technologies, as well as star charts and exhibits on cosmologies from different worlds too, duplicated from their native worlds where possible and carefully researched and reproduced otherwise. There's one specific sprawling hall dedicated to life-size models and in some case actual working duplicates ( although the staff are very insistent on the no touching thing ) of actual spacecraft of various kinds, military and research use, with some realistically recreated but not at all functioning control surfaces just to catch a visitor's imagination.
The observatory is state of the art and frequented by University faculty and students, but parts of it are available for public access and use, where regular lectures and lessons are held. They offer free star maps and small hobbyist telescopes for rental, with several large signs lamenting that they can only offer Eudio skies to look at and directing any visitors to the museum's various exhibits should they be volunteer citizens looking for something from their native worlds. The planetarium is an impressively-sized dome-shaped projection screen, hosting regular shows every morning and evening, Eudio-focused mostly because of the staff available. Someday, there might be the occasional rarer show for someone from a different world. Perhaps Earth.
