About Planetario Nacional Mutsumi Ishitsuka
The Peruvian-Japanese National Planetarium Mutsumi Ishitsuka is in the district of Ate, in the province of Lima, and belongs to the Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP). It was inaugurated on 26 June 2008, during the second government of President Alan García, and was created by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) together with the IGP. It is named after Mutsumi Ishitsuka, a JICA scientist who carried out research in Peru and who in 1999 arranged with the Japan Academy for the donation of equipment for a future planetarium in Lima. Between 2008 and 2016 the planetarium added a GOTO projection system that projects the sky in an enclosed space and a fulldome system that shows the stars with real-time graphics.
