The Grand Planetarium is a star-gazing hall inside one of the beacon dungeons reached from Cinder's Cradle. It shares the dungeon with the Library and the Library Foyer. A riddle left by Professor Androme guards its seal. The Middle Orrery Rings lie here.
Exploration
Telescopes stand on the balconies. Androme's riddle asks his pupils to use them. The left telescope should find where the Ancients came from. The right one should find where they rest. Solving it lifts the seal. A pupil's note works through the puzzle and points to the Mother Flame. Only one telescope can face her.

Lore
Professor Androme asked his star pupils to picture life as a circle, either a bright halo or a chain like an ouroboros. The empty space inside served as a canvas for constellations and the flow of time. Each Ancient springs into the circle young and spry, grows into an elder, falls to ash and sprouts anew. His pupils had to find the beginning and end of that cycle. One pupil reasoned that every Ancient springs from the Mother Flame.
Notes
The Alchemist wants all three orrery ring sets for an Orrery Display Pillar. The pillar is built from Basalt and Archaic Shards. The Middle Orrery Rings wait here, while the Inner Orrery Rings and Outer Orrery Rings lie in other places. With all three sets in place, the pillar shows a whole planetary system. A game hint says that one of the beacon dungeons is focused on observing the skies.
