A planning committee for the Buenos Aires Planetarium was formally established on 30 March 1958. The committee organized architectural designs, scientific equipment needs, and public outreach goals. Its members studied international planetarium models to develop a modern facility. The creation of the committee marked the beginning of a project that would later become a major cultural and scientific landmark. The planning phase included securing partnerships with universities and astronomy groups. The decision reflected growing interest in space science. The committee’s founding is remembered as the first step toward creating one of Argentina’s most iconic scientific institutions.
