See and experience – The Planetarium
Through the audiovisual spectacle in our planetarium, as well as from the depths of the universe, you can discover the secrets of the world around us, of past eras, and also the mysteries hidden within us!
See projectionsthe most modern video and audio system that provides you with a 360-degree visual spectacle
educational projections every hour
a capacity of 36 visitors for one projection
Why not! It may not be a NASA rocket, but our planetarium offers the unique experience of travelling through the universe and through time. Daily projections are held in the planetarium every hour, and we also organise special events led by astronomers.
What distinguishes the planetarium from an ordinary movie theatre is the projection dome enabling a 360° experience – diving into the secrets of the cosmos, getting to know distant constellations, and even descending to the deepest parts of the ocean or enjoying the polar light of the Arctic!
Do you know the origin of the word astronaut?
The word "astronaut" comes from the ancient Greek words for star and sailor (astron and nautes).
No wonder we invented planetariums - who wouldn't want to sail among the stars, even if they're not an astronaut!
The birth of the universe in the Big Bang, the gravitational shaping of time, black holes and the transient lives of stars – the universe and its phenomena are inextricably linked to the concept of time. And who better to narrate the elusive nature of time than the popular Time Machine Doctor, David Tennant!
The starry sky, its phases, and constellations are the focus of the first part of this projection. This concise overview of astrognosy introduces us to the basic constellations and asterisms of our sky, teaches us how to navigate using a “celestial compass” and presents the appearance of the starry sky throughout the year. In the second part, we embark on a visually striking journey through the Solar System – from the Sun and the Moon to the distant planets.
The author of this educational projection, created at the Planetarium of the Palace of Science, is Branko Simonović, a popularizer of astronomy.
For thousands of years, humans thought the Earth was the centre of the universe, but thanks to our curiosity, we now know that there are other planets and hundreds of billions of other stars besides the Sun. Let that same curiosity lead you on this visual search for exoplanets – planets that exist outside the solar system.
What makes up the universe? Why does it look the way it does? If similar questions are running through your head, join the scientists in an exciting quest as they use experiments in the universe and deep underground to unravel the secrets of dark matter.
The projection is recommended for ages 9 and above.
Despite the fact that the discovered space bodies still show no signs of life, the vastness of the universe still makes us ask ourselves: are we really alone? While we are still waiting for some answers, you can find out some of them in this 360-degree video projection that explores the conditions necessary for the origin of life, starting with the planets and moons of the solar system, and ending with newly discovered exoplanets orbiting other stars.
