I would like to tell you about The Moscow Planetarium. I visited it this summer and was impressed greatly. Ranking among the most modern planetariums in the world, reopened its doors in 2011 after a long reconstruction. Today, the renovated Planetarium continues to amaze visitors, being a great source of fun and new information. The Big Star Hall Russian: Bolshoy zvezdnyi zal or Большой звёздный зал features Europe’s largest star projector dome with an area of 1,000 square metres, producing a stunning effect of total immersion into outer space.
Visitors of all ages will enjoy the Lunarium , an interactive museum presenting the laws of physics and various natural phenomena in the form of games. Create artificial clouds and tornados, generate electricity, make electronic music, ride a space bike and find out how much you weigh on other planets, ‘protect’ the planet from asteroids, send a message to aliens, and much more. The exhibits – The Black Hole, The Hyperboloid Magic Wand, The Plasma Ball and Optical Illusions are enhanced with colourful plates with fascinating written information about each exhibit.
