Completely fitting for buildings designed to house the celestial skies, there seems to be no lack of wonderfully weird, totally alien-esque planetariums dotting the planet today. From starchitect-built projects like the ever-controversial Santiago Calatrava's ribcage-like City of Arts and Sciences and Renzo Piano's jam-packed California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, to totally obscure, globe-shaped structures, some of the architecture out there just might be weird enough to outshine the cosmos. Take a look, below:
