Grand opening of the case with the observatory – a term almost literally: the giant leaf dome apart, and the telescope catches the first rays of the sun. The ceremony – to Moscow's rare success – not marred nor a single cloud. This point in the planetarium waited more than 20 years. In Soviet times there was an observatory, which worked most popular clubs in astronomy. In the 80s it was closed. Construction of a new all time was delayed. Today, at the opening of those who as a child under this dome so ill starry sky, that this time he had become a scientific luminary. "This is, in fact, that I first saw the boy in the observatory of the planetarium, and this kind of sunspots has made a huge impression on me, I started coming here, and then I saw a lot of interesting things. If you point the telescope at night, you can see Jupiter, Saturn – this is the most interesting planets to observe in a small telescope, "- says a leading researcher at the Institute of Astronomy and State Astronomical Institute. PK Sternberg (SAI), Nikolai Samus. However, in the battle for viewer interest in the planets solid competitors: star clusters, distant galaxies, nebulas. Includes the famous Andromeda Galaxy, the closest to us. Of course, by space standards – the light from it is up to the Earth 2 million years. See it now you can live. Well to the naked eye – with five-meter Zeiss-300 in Russia these are only two. "He may show up in clear weather, the moon, and as if we are close to her. We can see the craters, any hill, details that are very interesting on the moon, such that, of course, to the naked eye or through binoculars to see the impossible ", – says the scientific director of the Moscow Planetarium Faina Rublev. Winter – Orion and Sirius in the summer – a triangle constellation Lyra, the Eagle and Cygnus. Day – Sun, Moon and Venus in the night – Saturn and Jupiter. Different times of day, different times of the year – even two similar trips will not be. Observatory – the only one in town, built specifically for amateur stargazers. Until now monitoring the air in the capital were available only to scientists. "The same telescope is at MSU, but it individually to scientists for research, here it is mass, to encourage people to view the sky" – explains general manager Andrew Bordun Moscow planetarium. Ideally, to observe, of course, cloudless sky. However, clear days in the capital will be typed on the strength of 30 per year. However, some see the sun and stars can be and through the haze. But to see the details of Saturn, the weather forecast is not needed. In the Small Hall star will start the race on giant planets. It's like cosmic roller coaster. Three-dimensional image provides a dome, and complement the effect of the presence of dynamic chair that can tilt forward, backward, in different directions. A feeling that you are sitting in the cabin of the spacecraft, which is rushing at breakneck speed over the surface of the planet Saturn. On the opening line Minor observatory – for scientific observations. And the revival of the famous children's clubs. Since October, the planetarium will bring up their stars astronomy.
