The Adelaide Planetarium is housed at the University of South Australia's Mawson Lakes campus on the second floor of Building P. This completely air-conditioned dome seats 45 people in their new specially designed chairs allowing the audience to view all parts of the artificial sky with ease and comfort. The planetarium offers many advantages over star gazing outdoors. Outdoor observers must contend with the cold, cloud cover, unwanted light from streetlights, the moon and the city glow in general. In the air conditioned dome at the Adelaide Planetarium the audience can view all parts of the replica sky with comparative ease.
