Silesian Planetarium, Educational planetarium in Chorzów, Poland.
The Silesian Planetarium displays astronomical phenomena on a spherical screen capable of showing over one hundred million stars through advanced projection technology.
The facility opened its doors in 1955, marking the beginning of Poland's first permanent astronomical education center dedicated to space science exploration.
Regular astronomy programs and geophysics exhibitions connect visitors with scientific discoveries through demonstrations, interactive displays, and educational presentations throughout the year.
The planetarium operates from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM on weekdays and 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM on weekends, with ticket prices ranging from 8 to 20 PLN.
Visitors can experience space travel through a flight simulator that recreates journeys to the International Space Station at an altitude of 406 kilometers.
