It is the second day of the conference, and I spent the whole day at the conference room. However, at the end of the conference, there was planetary show at Olsztyn planetarium.
Planetarium in Olsztyn, which is the second largest planetarium in Poland, was opened on February 19, 1973, on the 500th anniversary of the birth of Nicolaus Copernicus under the name Space Planetarium. In addition to the normal planetarium show, I've witnessed two unique thing at the Olsztyn planetarium. How many of us know how many Sputnik satellite the Russian manufactured? They built three identical Sputnik but they only put one of them in orbit. So, where are the other two? Well, one of them is now on display at the Olsztyn space planetarium. It was given to Poland by the Russian President. The other unique thing is that the three pieces of moon rock that given to Polish president by President Nixon of USA.
BTW, this is the space planetarium show that include more detail information than any other space planetarium show that I've seen.
