Organizing sky watching for the public, holding regular lectures and astronomy clubs. There is a lens telescope with an objective diameter of 130 mm and a focal length of 1950 mm and a Newtonian reflecting telescope with the ability to focus 2000 times more light than the human eye.
We operate an observatory, which has a telescope with a diameter of 500 mm and a spectroheliscope with image transmission to a monitor. The observatory has a receiving station for geostationary and polar meteorological satellites. We receive images from Meteosat geostationary satellites and NOAA polar satellites.

Operation of a mobile planetarium. We show educational films and entertaining full-dome shows (not only) about the stars and the universe on a planetarium dome at a location you invite us to.
We are a centre for the popularisation of various sciences, mainly in the field of inanimate nature, astronomy, but we do not shy away from geology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, geography and many others. You will find here a digitalarium, an exploratorium, an astronomical observatory and an observation terrace.
The planetarium is a part of the Faculty of Mining and Geology of VŠB-TU Ostrava. It offers audiovisual programmes to schools and the general public, consisting of projections of the current night sky and a spherical film projected on the dome. Visitors have the opportunity to look at the sky with astronomical telescopes.
