Košice Planetarium

Košice Planetarium is the Slovak Technical Museum's 42-seat optical planetarium in the museum's Hlavná Street building. Its Zeiss Jena ZKP-II projector can demonstrate roughly 5,000 stars, the Sun, Moon, visible planets, nebulae, galaxies and the Milky Way, while lecturers use the dome for astronomy and educational programmes about the Solar System and constellations. Opened to visitors in 1975 as Slovakia's first planetarium, it currently accepts advance reservations, requires at least 10 visitors to run a programme, and publishes visitor hours Tuesday–Friday 09:00–17:00 and Saturday–Sunday 12:00–17:00; selected weekend public programmes are announced separately.
