Centrum Nauki Kopernik in Warsaw - Planetarium

Centrum Nauki Kopernik in Warsaw - Planetarium, Planetarium at Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw, Poland.

The planetarium has a spherical projection dome measuring 16 meters (52 feet) across, which displays astronomical scenes using advanced digital systems. The theater seats approximately 139 people and projects images across the entire interior surface of the dome to create a fully surrounding experience.

The planetarium opened on 19 June 2011 as part of the Copernicus Science Centre, in a building designed by the Gilner + Kubec architecture laboratory from Ruda Śląska. Its steel structure is clad in amber glass and linked by a passage to the main centre building. The projection hall sits on the first floor, with its spherical screen suspended on chains and tilted about 17° together with the auditorium.

The planetarium's own studio produced "On the Wings of Dreams", the first Polish fulldome film, and "Hello, Earth". Its repertoire includes the Pink Floyd laser show "Dark Side of the Moon", honoured by the International Laser Display Association, and monthly concerts under the stars.

The projection hall sits on the first floor of the amber-glass building, reached from the Copernicus Science Centre by a connecting passage. The spherical screen and the seating are tilted about 17 degrees, so the rows let you watch almost lying back. The building stands by the Vistula north of the Świętokrzyski Bridge, with the Park of Explorers in front of it.

The star projector at the dome's centre is a Megastar IIA made by the Japanese firm Ohira Tech, weighing about 80 kg and showing nearly 16 million stars. Around it sit small digital projectors for the Sun, the Moon and the five planets visible to the naked eye. The whole projector stands on a purpose-built lift.
