Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the COSMOS-Mysuru planetarium on November 13. The Prime Minister’s Office announced the ceremony on November 11 through the Press Information Bureau. The itinerary gives the inauguration time as around 4 p.m.

The Indian Institute of Astrophysics built the facility on the University of Mysore campus near Chamundi Hills as a centre for astronomy education and training. The PMO says the tilted, 15-metre dome displays images using LED panels instead of projecting them onto a passive surface.

The announcement gives the time of the ceremony. It does not give a date for regular public admission.
