Traditionally International Day of Planetariums has been celebrated on the second Sunday of March.   

However the International Planetarium Society decided to change the date to May 7th starting from 2024 and the date is tied to an important event in history.

On May 7th 1925, the first projection planetarium, also known as the Zeiss planetarium, opened at the Deutsche Museum in Munich, Germany and 2025 will mark the centennial of this event.
