Aesthetics and experience
Immersive environment give the audience one of the most exhilarating experiences. There is a chance to get involved with all the sensory attributes of the body and mind, without losing touch of the actual surroundings. The sensory attributes are referenced from the ability of the participants to feel in terms of touch, sight, smell, taste and the sound elements of their body.

As such, if the audience were enjoying images of the galaxies, they would only be in a position to see the objects in static positions at all time, until another image comes on. The two of them can also combine the element of sound to the sensory experiences of audience; however, the planetarium environment would still be more immersive relative to the fact that it can include motion in the images, while panoramic does not.
