Kharkiv planetarium, Scientific planetarium in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
The facility features a 15-meter diameter dome equipped with advanced projection technology for displaying celestial phenomena and astronomical presentations.
The building, originally constructed in 1915 as the Mordvinivska synagogue, transformed into a planetarium in 1957 under astronomer Mykola Barabashov's initiative.
The planetarium maintains educational partnerships with universities and schools, offering specialized programs for astronomy education and space science discovery.
Visitors can experience daytime star observations, explore the permanent Cosmos museum with spacecraft models, and attend regular astronomy lectures.
The facility became the first automated computer-controlled planetarium in the Soviet Union after receiving the Medium Zeiss projector in 1974.
