Become a Planet Partner

Planet partnerships are an ideal way for smaller businesses to contribute to keeping the ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre open for the public and free. Their contribution of 5 000 €/year is a direct investment in the community, allowing the organisation to offer an immersive and engaging experience with science and technology, inspiring coming generations to appreciate and understand the Universe around us and our planet. In return, Planet partners enjoy several benefits, ranging from making use of the planetarium for their presentations to engaging with our visitors in meaningful ways. As part of the corporate partnership we also offer exclusive logo and brand exposure to our partners.

ESO enjoys a special status in Germany as an intergovernmental organisation. Donations to the ESO Supernova are therefore tax deductible in Germany. Similar tax deductions can be investigated on a case-by-case basis for other ESO Member States.
