Astronomy is an increasingly popular field, with planetariums being key locations for astronomical activities. Permanent exhibitions, including interactive multimedia installations, exhibits, and models, also play a significant role in popularizing astronomy.

FIXED EXPOSITION MODEL - THE CONSTRUCTION OF ASTRONOMICAL TELESCOPES

• historical development and construction of the basic and most used types of astronomical telescopes
• demonstration of the principle of functionality by means of clearly visible laser beams and plastic optical elements (lenses and mirrors)
• suitable for explaining the principle of operation before the actual observation

PRO EXPOSITION MODEL - THE CONSTRUCTION OF ASTRONOMICAL TELESCOPES

• professional model outlining the historical development and construction of four types of astronomical telescopes
• realistic proportions of tube sizes and diameters, lens sizes and focal lengths
• fixed or mobile version of the model

Why are exhibits and models so interesting?

Models, interactive exhibits and multimedia installations directly popularize science through their construction, implementation and illustration of a certain phenomenon or principle.

Therefore, they are designed to be engaging, educational and entertaining. They are intended for all age categories of visitors to observatories, planetariums, museums, science parks and centers and other places where astronomy is popularized.

EXHIBITS: EXPERIMENTS WITH LIGHT

Light has always accompanied us. It seems kind of self-evident and commonplace to us, yet light played and plays an important role in the development of not only philosophy, but also physics and other sciences. Thanks to the fact that people tried to find out and understand exactly what light is and how it propagates, they made breakthrough discoveries in physics.

With the arrival of new philosophical ways, it was always supported by an experiment with light (Newton's prism and the decomposition of light, Michelson's interferometer and the theory of relativity, Young's slit and quantum mechanics, Goethe's experiment).
