Silesian Planetarium in Chorzow

As part of a project commissioned by the Silesian Planetarium in Chorzow, TRIAS AVI created three complex stations combining mechanical, mechatronic and multimedia solutions:

Rainmaker
The stand shows the essence of using optical instruments in astronomy. Models will be placed under a circular rainshower, giving a steady steady rain of fine water droplets: a human eye without an instrument under a bright star, a human eye without an instrument under a low-brightness star, a human eye with a telescope under a low-brightness star, one pixel of a CCD camera under a low-brightness star, an array of CCD camera pixels under an area containing stars of different brightness. In front of the models will be touchscreen displays, which will show “what the detector sees” when a particular section is in operation.

See the invisible
The stand aims to present visitors with the fact that every physical body emits infrared radiation. Objects observed in the infrared range can look quite different from visible light. This also applies to celestial bodies. Some of them are discernible only in the infrared radiation range.

Column for presentation of weather phenomena
The stand allows you to learn about and observe selected weather phenomena, such as snow, fog, clouds, rain and tornadoes.
