60 YEARS PLANETARIUM IN DIMITROVGRAD

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the opening of the first Planetarium in Bulgaria and the National Astronomical Observatory - "Giordano Bruno" in Dimitrovgrad. For its half-a-century history, the planetarium and the astronomical observatory have always been an attractive center for promoting knowledge of hundreds of students and citizens of Dimitrovgrad and the country. Thanks to the support of the Ministry of Education and Science, today Giordano Bruno is a modern digital planetarium, which provides modern conditions for working with children and students and also additional opportunities for demonstrations in the educational center. Modern 3D technology creates for visitors a different perception in a unique environment and stimulates interest in physics and astronomy. The celebration of the significant anniversary is filled with a rich event program.


From 10 to 13 May 2022, "Giordano Bruno" will celebrate the 60th anniversary: a competition in astronomy with students from 5th grade and a competition for making a sundial for students from 4th to 10th grade.

Two free digital walks around the universe for the citizens of Dimitrovgrad have also been prepared by the organizers.

An accompanying event will be organized by the City Library "Penyo Penev" where from 09 to 13 May 2022 will be able to be seen the exhibition "Bulgarian Astronomical Book" - a unique collection of educational and academic literature on astronomy, with editions from 1878 until now.


On April 12, 2022 physicists and astronomers from all planetariums in the country, as well as from the Institute of Astronomy at BAS and the Department at Sofia University will participate in the official event on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of "Giordano Bruno" – ‘Seminar and discussion about Planetariums and Observatories in Bulgaria with the focus on their history and future’.
