Ufa Planetarium, Science education center in Ufa, Russia
The Ufa Planetarium is a science education center with an 8-meter dome where images of the night sky and cosmic phenomena are projected. The facility uses modern projection technology to show how stars, planets, and other celestial objects appear and move through space.
The facility was founded in 1964 and initially operated as part of a larger cultural center. In 1976 it became independent and developed into a dedicated astronomy education site.
The space draws school groups and families curious about the cosmos and how we understand it. People come here to step away from daily routines and spend time thinking about the universe above.
The site is well served by public transportation and located centrally in the city. Visitors should check opening times in advance, as these vary depending on the day of the week.
The dome was outfitted in the 1990s with an advanced projection system that quickly became a model for the region. This technical upgrade allowed for more detailed and realistic depictions of the cosmos than many other facilities at that time.
