Crowned with success
From the very first day, the center has
been very actively pursuing its educational
mission. Within nine months, it
counted 206,000 visitors, among them
more than 140,000 children and highschool
pupils. Several times, renowned
Russian astronomers appeared in the
planetarium. In many live talks, visitors
got informed about the latest achievements
of astronomy all over the world.
In almost every clear night, the observatory
is open to the public for observation.
So far, close to 2000 people have
enjoyed this.
The planetarium team has created four
shows that explain the starry sky and its
multiple facets for each of the seasons.
The center has made ambitious plans for
the future. In 2012, three new shows
will be launched, covering the history of
Russian space travel, the solar system,
and astronomy in Russian folklore (for
children).
We wish our friends and colleagues
every success.
