A building receives natural lighting from sunlight, which is the primary source of lighting. There
are three sources of natural lighting from the ceiling, which are represented by the three main
elements mentioned above. First, sunlight enters the planetarium through openings on both sides,
where it is vertical at I0 am, perpendicular at 12 pm, and vertical at 2 pm. Secondly, sunlight
enters through the inverted dome. as well as gaps in the first floor. Third At midday, a complete
circle will emerge on the ground as a result of the sun's rays passing through this eye, which
distributes lighting to the events in front of the water pool entrance.

Starry Night Sky Illusion: The inverted dome is lit from below, mimicking a starry night sky.
This creates a sense of immersion and replicates the celestial environment.
Planetary Glow: The planetarium sphere itself is internally lit, transforming it into a glowing orb.
This draws focus and adds a celestial quality to the planetarium experience.
Natural Light Integration: The Oculus, a large opening in the roof, allows natural light to filter
in. This creates a connection to the outside world and introduces a dynamic element to the
lighting scheme.
