Since ancient times, humans have been fascinated by the sky. Stars have inspired researchers such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Johannes Kepler. Kepler's laws, centuries after the death of their author, allowed for the exploration of the cosmos and the landing of humans on the Moon.

Thanks to them, it was possible to build the International Space Station and send space probes beyond the boundaries of the Solar System. The show demonstrates how these laws work, using simple, easy-to-understand animations and clear explanations.

The screening consists of two parts - the first is a live tour of the current sky conducted by a lecturer in Polish. The second part is a projection in Polish. The English soundtrack is available by selecting the headphone icon in the booking system.

We are Stars

Although we rarely realize it in our daily lives, we are composed of the same elements as the stars, nebulae, and distant galaxies.

What was there at the beginning? How did life originate? What is the process of stellar evolution? These and many other questions are answered by the authors of the show, which has become a hit in planetariums worldwide.

The screening consists of two parts - the first is a live tour of the current sky conducted by a lecturer in Polish. The second part is a projection in Polish. English and Ukrainian soundtracks are available by selecting the headphone icon in the booking system.

Aurora: Lights of Wonder

Although auroras are a common physical phenomenon, their sight seems to be one of the greatest wonders we can observe in nature. This show is a journey all the way to the polar circle, where auroras are a frequent occurrence.

How are they formed, and how does the cosmos influence the Earth's atmosphere? The answers to these questions can be found in this session.

Phantom of the Universe - The Hunt for Dark Matter

The Hunt for Dark Matter is a screening that presents an exciting exploration of Dark Matter, from the Big Bang to the long-awaited discovery at the Large Hadron Collider.

The screening reveals the observations of the first traces of Dark Matter through the eyes of the scientist who coined the term - Fritz Zwicky. We will witness the stellar choreography observed by Vera Rubin in the Andromeda galaxy, and then we will dive deep underground to see the most sensitive dark matter detector on Earth, located in a former gold mine.

From there, we will travel through space and time to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, racing past particles before they collide in visually stunning explosions of light and sound. At the same time, we will learn how scientists from around the world collaborate to track down the components of dark matter.

Saturn & Beyond

The rings of Saturn are one of the most beautiful objects in the Solar System. Although astronomers discovered them over 400 years ago, to this day their enigmatic nature remains a great inspiration for space exploration.

We invite you to the screening "Saturn and Beyond," where you will learn about the history of the discovery of Saturn's rings and see them up close thanks to space probes that have studied the planet.

The Sun, Our Living Star

The Sun is a star that is only about 8 light minutes away from us. It witnesses everything that happens on our planet. We owe it our lives and almost all the energy our civilization possesses. The Sun also drives the wind and shapes the weather.

In this screening, we can get closer to the Sun and get to know it better - to understand how much we depend on the thermonuclear processes that occur inside our star. We learn what sunspots are and how much our star will change in four and a half billion years when it reaches the end of its life.

The screening consists of two parts - the first is a live tour of the current sky conducted by a lecturer in Polish. The second part is a projection in Polish. English and German soundtracks are available by selecting the headphone icon in the booking system.

Birth of Planet Earth

“Birth of Planet Earth” is a planetarium fulldome show that tells the twisted tale of our planet’s origins.

Scientists now believe that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own.

The film employs advanced, data-driven, cinematic-quality visualizations to explore some of the greatest questions in science today: How did Earth become a living planet in the wake of our solar system’s violent birth? What does its history tell us about our chances of finding other worlds that are truly Earth-like?

The screening consists of two parts - the first is a live tour of the current sky conducted by a lecturer in Polish. The second part is a projection in Polish. English soundtrack is available by selecting the headphone icon in the booking system.
