Penza Planetarium, Astronomical observatory in Belinsky Park, Penza, Russia
The planetarium building features a dome-shaped theater equipped with specialized projection technology for displaying celestial phenomena and astronomical presentations to the public.
Founded in 1928 as a People's Observatory, the facility received its first planetarium device in 1954 and underwent major renovations with a new building in 2023.
The planetarium maintains five museum halls displaying meteorites, space exploration models, and educational tools that demonstrate astronomical concepts to visitors.
The facility houses a Foucault pendulum, models of space stations, and various exhibits that help visitors understand the principles of astronomy and space exploration.
The planetarium contains an exact replica of Ulugh Beg's Quadrant, demonstrating historical methods of astronomical measurements and calculations from centuries past.
