The Nagoya City Science Museum now has the world's biggest planetarium with a diameter of 35 meters encased by two eco-friendly "green walls" as shown in the image below. Other green features include the harnessing of rain water to flush the toilets in the museum.
In front of the museum is now a complete Hayabusa H-IIB rocket which was developed and built by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in Tsukuba, Japan as a test rocket for the successful launch of the 2003 Hayabusa ("Peregrine Falcon") mission to the 25143 Itokawa asteroid.
