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!
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.
For those wanting to know more about the discoveries of High Energy Astrophysics probing hot gas in clusters of galaxies. By studying the high energy radiation emitted in the universe, this area of physics provides information about the secrets of our own galaxy, neutron stars, supernova and stars like our Sun.
From the time when Galileo first pointed his humble instrument at the stars until today, the telescope has made incredible discoveries and helped us better understand our place in the universe. Learn more about the history of this 400-year-old invention, how it works, and how the world’s largest observatories use telescopes to explore the universe.
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.
