Overview
The new facility located in the town of Shtime, consists of a 50-seat planetarium under a 9-meter-wide dome, next to a 6-meter-wide dome that will serve as the observatory, housing a 14-inch-wide telescope donated by Celestron. The largest solar telescope in eastern Europe, also donated, will be installed on the observatory's terrace because it was too big to fit under the retracting dome.[1]
