THE URANIA PLANETARIUM IN POTSDAM REOPENED WITH THE NEW STAR PROJECTOR FROM ZEISS, CALLED ASTERION

The Urania Planetarium in Potsdam reopened yesterday with the latest ZEISS technology, celebrating a world premiere: the new star projector from ZEISS, called ASTERION, has replaced the old ZEISS SKYMASTER planetarium, which had been used successfully for over 40 years. ASTERION establishes a new class of equipment: The spherical so-called “Star Ball” projects stars and the Milky Way in combination with the ZEISS VELVET digital system, which is also new. It consists of two special projectors that project a 360-degree image onto the dome.

The video projectors are outstanding for the highest contrast. While ASTERION displays the natural appearing starry sky with unprecedented sharpness, the digital projection provides all other celestial phenomena such as the planets, sun and moon, or even constellation figures. Unlike other projectors, the ZEISS VELVET system does not “brighten” the background and the brilliance of the night sky remains unspoiled. Simon Plate, director of the planetarium, confirms this: “ASTERION comes to us in Potsdam with an impressively brilliant and deep starry sky. In combination with the high-contrast image of the VELVET LED projectors, 'strolling' through the planetarium sky will be a real pleasure.”

With its more than 50-year history, the Urania Planetarium stands out as one of the educational institutions rich in tradition. It was opened in 1968 in the “New Garden” in Potsdam and since then has shaped astronomical education beyond Potsdam and serves as an important venue for cultural events in western Brandenburg. In the beginning, the focus was on the starry sky and its phenomena. Over the years, new programs and upgraded technology have always offered visitors modernity and increasing diversity. In 2007, it moved to Potsdam’s Dutch Quarter and by 2010 was already using a digital fulldome system for immersive presentations, purchased by the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences for real-time visualizations. The 8-meter-diameter dome seats 46. Regarding the new technology, the Potsdam Planetarium is once again one of the most modern small planetariums in Europe. With its entertaining and educational programs, it attracts about 20,000 visitors annually.
