The second half of the Philosophy and Ethos session continues with deeper explorations into planetarium identity. Topics include a philosophical investigation into the 'world's oldest planetarium' by Carl Zeiss Jena, the significance of place-specific immersive experiences in a globalized world, the application of the 'Overview Effect and awe' from a South African perspective, and the academic relevance of classical optical projectors in Japan. Presenters probe what it means to be a planetarium in the modern era.
