This video shows the entirety of the 1st visit to the Castle of Uruk which includes the Planetarium area.

Jump on the cage suspended in the air & then climb up the ladder. Use the various ledges/platforms to reach the doorway across from where you start. In the next room, there are some things moving up and down. Jump up to grab 1 then keep jumping until you reach the top.

At the top you'll find yourself in an area with many eye switches. In 1 direction there are a handful of eye switches and in 2 directions there are 1 eye switch each. 1 of the lone eyes moves slower than the other. This is eye you want to sneak by. If the eye switch sees you then the pathways will be blocked. Simply step on the circular switch on the floor nearby to open them again.

In the planetarium head toward the right and move the platforms in the water so that you can jump from the little room to the main room without touching the water. Open the chest inside the little room & it will descend into the floor to be replaced with an electrical generator. You'll be zapped and gain the temporary power of electricity.

While electrified, jump back to the main room without touching the water & run over to the device on the edge of the center platform. This turns the floor on. Grab the 1st Stolen Abydos Jewel that appears in the center and you'll be launched up to a new area.

Go through the door and run across the retracting floor. You may notice a chest down below. It's just a decoy so ignore it.

In the next room, drop down to either side and enter the little corridor. You'll be electrified. While electrified, run around to the other side of the wall and climb up the ladder to electrocute the Alert Spider & kill it. Notice that when it dies a white scarab appears. This is called an Onyx Scarab. They can only be obtained in the Castle of Uruk and there is a limited amount of them in the game. Because of this you'll want to grab as many of them as you can.

Electrify yourself again and jump onto the square platforms in the water to the right of (if facing) the ladder. Ride the last platform up to the ledge above and step on the mark on the ground. This will cause the next platforms to start spinning. Make your way across them and electrify the device at the end.

Take the platforms on the other side of the room until you zap the device at the end of this path as well. Make sure you don't get sprayed by the water in the process. Energizing both devices will activate the zip line near the entrance. Ride it all the way to the end and open the cabinet to obtain the Lunar Key.

Go back toward the main room. On the way, fall down through the floor & get flattened. Go forward and you'll end up in the main room. Before you return to normal, quickly run through the bars that lead into a 2nd little room. Open the chest inside to get the Exit Key. Pull the lever then run to where you saw the gate open. Swap the Solar Key for the Lunar Key and then go to the center of the room to get launched to a new area.

Along the way you'll get spotted by an eye that turns on some lasers. Touching the blue lasers makes water spray while the red laser lights you on fire. Touch the red laser and duck under the blue laser. Burn the pyramidal wooden crate & collect the Onyx Scarabs inside then burn down the wooden fence blocking your way.

While on fire, drop down in the next area and jump into what looks like a torture device. This is a gas furnace which will ignite & cause a platform to start moving. Run over to the unblocked lever to turn on a water elevator which you can ride back up to the top. Then run to the back of the room and push the 2 statues off of the switches to raise some platforms.

Move the circular platforms so that you can jump across the water without touching it. Ignite yourself on the torture furnace then use the walkway on the center structure to reach 1 of the platforms you raised and then to a furnace to ignite it. Ignite yourself again and jump across the platforms you moved to burn down the wood blocking the lever. Pull the lever and the center structure will rotate. Ignite the furnace on the other side of the room.

Ride the water back up and navigate across the retracting platforms & the ledge with the spikes until you reach the cabinet holding the Earth Key. Go back to the main room while making sure to burn all the crates along the way to get the Onyx Scarabs.

While on fire, go into the little room where you were first electrocuted and quickly hide in the sarcophagus. This will protect you from the electricity & keep you on fire. Burn the wood and pull the lever.

Swap the Lunar Key with the Earth Key and get launched up to the locked door. Use the Exit Key to open it. Before opening the chest make sure you got all 90 Onyx Scarabs then open the chest to get the Wings of Ibis.
