A space flight simulator in the Silesian Planetarium - there is power! June 11, after many years of renovation, the modernized and full of technical innovations Planetrarium Śląskie in Katowice was opened. The structure itself and the wide offer of this facility are impressive, but to see everything, i.e. thematic exhibitions, star projection, vantage point and space flight simulator, you need 4.5 hours. As for me, a bit too much for one time, so I decided to visit the Planetarium in installments. However, I was most interested in the space flight simulator and started my tour of the planetarium with it. 10 people divided into 2 groups enter the room with 5 simulators at one time. The first one takes positions in simulators and, under the supervision of the staff, is installed in comfortable armchairs. Now we'll begin! The simulator door closes and an image appears in the goggles. And here is the first surprise! Suddenly, we feel as if half of the simulator is glazed, and we are about to fall out of it. I was reminded of an effect from my favorite science fiction film "Contact", where a capsule with an astronaut flies through a magnetic field and the capsule at some point becomes translucent. Amazing effect.
