When people seek to learn more about astronomy or are interested in observing some astronomical event, planetariums are the natural places to turn to. In Portugal there are three planetariums with capacity for more than 80 people: Planetario Calouste Gulbenkian (320 seats), Planetário do Porto (100 seats) and Planetário de Espinho (80 seats). There are also some smaller planetariums, like the planetarium from Museu de Ciencia da Universidade de Lisboa, and several portable planetariums. The annual total of visitors to the three main planetariums exceeds 150,000, 80% of whom are students.
