io9’s and Tokyo Mango’s Lisa Katayama has explored the Tokyo Science Museum’s newest 3D planetarium theater, the Synra Dome, and reported back with all the tech specs we’ve been dying to know.

Curious about what moons look like on the other side of the galaxy, but can’t make it to Japan? Check her piece out on io9. [io9]
