Kiev Planetarium, Astronomical center on Velyka Vasylkivska Street, Kyiv, Ukraine.
Kiev Planetarium is an astronomical center in Kyiv, Ukraine, dedicated to showcasing and exploring the heavens above. The facility houses a large dome with cutting-edge projection technology that displays celestial objects in detail.
The facility opened in the early 1950s and relocated to a new building in the late 1980s to expand its capabilities. This move allowed the center to serve more visitors with improved facilities and technology.
The place serves as an educational gathering spot where visitors discover space science through immersive shows and demonstrations. People of all ages come to experience astronomy in ways that spark curiosity and wonder about the universe.
Shows run throughout the day and into the evening, with timing adjusting seasonally to match daylight hours. It is wise to check current opening times before your visit and allow time in your schedule depending on the show you wish to see.
The building uses a set of synchronized projectors connected to a single media server to create a seamless sky experience. This technical setup allows the facility to display thousands of stars at once, far more than older equipment could achieve.
