On 5 November, the planetarium in Moscow, which is equipped with ZEISS technology, celebrated its 90th anniversary. “We have a longstanding and very good relationship with the planetarium in Moscow. We are delighted that the approximately 3,000 visitors a day have helped the planetarium become one of the world's most visited,” said Head of ZEISS Planetariums Martin Kraus during the celebrations. Moscow's planetarium opened on 5 November 1929 as one of the first planetariums outside Germany. It has been using ZEISS technology ever since: a Model II at first, a specially developed planetarium model with an automatic control system and the ZEISS UNIVERSARIUM Mark IX currently in use. “We are pleased to be using this exceptional technology at our planetarium and recreating the night sky just as you would see it high up in the mountains,” says Faina Rubleva, Scientific Director of the Moscow Planetarium.
