Cosmorama
A cosmorama is a variant of the panorama or a popular scientific representation of the universe in a planetarium .
Cosmorama
The cosmorama of the 19th century was a variant of the panorama , which showed a compilation of images of individual areas; the images were shown under artificial lighting and viewed through magnifying glasses so that they appeared "natural" size.
At the end of the 1860s, a cosmorama was shown in Cologne , which consisted of 2500 stereoscopic photographs on glass. In 1898 , for example, an alpine cosmorama was set up in the exhibition rooms of the Museo Nazionale della Montagna in Turin, “Duca degli Abruzzi” .
At the beginning of the 20th century , a few cinemas named Kosmorama still remembered the cosmoramas of the 19th century , for example a cinema in Flensburg at Nikolaistraße 10 and in Hamburg a cinema at Wilstorfer Straße 70 (both from 1906 ).
planetarium
In a planetarium or an observatory , a popular scientific representation of the universe - i.e. the cosmos - is called a cosmorama.
