        Planetarium No. 1

        • The planetarium opened on 3 November 2017 in a gasholder of the Main Gas Works of the Capital Lighting Society.
        • The empty building was spotted by chance in 2015 by the entrepreneur Yevgeny Gudov while walking along the Obvodny Canal.
        • The gasholder itself is a brick cylinder 20 m high and 42 m across, a federal monument since 2001.
        • The dome's frame is assembled from 1,500 wooden beams and 507 steel “Haeckels” — joints named after the naturalist Ernst Haeckel.
        • The dome is 2 metres wider than that of the planetarium in Nagoya, Japan, the previous Guinness record holder.
        • The image on the dome is produced by 40 projectors with 8K resolution.

      ↩️ Getting back: To Obvodny Kanal metro — 15 minutes on foot along the embankment. Frunzenskaya is closed for reconstruction until 2027.
