Aruba’s first planetarium: A work in progress (page 11)
Vrolijk, J., Everon, D., and Maduro, J.

The Space and Nature Aruba Foundation (SNAF) has acquired a mobile inflatable planetarium with the goal of inspiring young students on the island of Aruba to pursue careers in science and technology. Despite lacking the necessary funds to buy an off-the-shelf projector for the planetarium, SNAF debuted it to the public on 14 October 2024 during the partial solar eclipse. Ideally, the mobile planetarium will introduce young students to the wonders of the Universe and inspire them to pursue careers in science and technology, making astronomy and Earth science accessible to the local community.
