The central theme of the Bükk Star Observatory's exhibition is the Sun. In addition to its life-giving effects on Earth, the exhibition also presents star types, the life cycle of stars, and the invisible characteristics of our Sun. Visitors can touch Hungary's unique meteorite collection and examine their structure with a special microscope. The facility's main instrument, a 61 cm diameter Corrected Dall-Kirkham astrograph, is housed under the world's largest mass-produced astronomical dome. While primarily designed for astrophotography, the telescope is also excellent for visual observations. In the planetarium, which offers an unparalleled experience in Central Europe, we showcase the wonders of the night sky on a special 8-metre diameter dome!
In the VR room and on the VR platforms in the foyer, modern technology is utilised to provide experiences such as hang gliding, where you can enjoy a 360-degree view over the Bükk Mountains.
The 4-kilometre-long Planetary Tour nature trail connected to the Bükk Star Observatory allows you to explore the natural, geological, and cultural heritage of the surrounding area.
