This research sought to investigate the use of the Planetarium as a theoretical and methodological resource in the continuing training of physics teachers. Although it is easy to find in the national and international literature works that recognize the contributions of astronomy to teacher training, this discipline is still little offered in Brazil by undergraduate courses in Physics. The question has been raised as to how the Planetarium can contribute to the continuing education of physicists. The objective of this work was to analyze the relevance of the "Planetary" resource in the teaching practice of physicists, based on the results of previous researches described in articles, dissertations and theses, from 2006 to 2016. The results elucidate diverse evidences that the use of the Planetarium can contribute significantly in the continuous formation of Physics teachers, due to the interest that arouses in the people, the pre-disposition of the individual in studying Astronomy; and for having adequate sessions at the level of teaching and scholastic stage of the students. In this work, it is concluded that, giving teachers continuous training, through a theoretical and methodological approach with the use of the Planetarium resource, it will be possible to promote in these professionals a change of attitude in their pedagogical practice.
