Cozmix - Volkssterrenwacht (Public observatory) Beisbroek

Admire the beauty of the sun, moon and planets in glorious close-up, thanks to a powerful telescope in the Cozmix observation tower. In the planetarium more than seven thousand stars are projected onto the interior of the dome. Spectacular video images take you on a journey through the mysteries of the universe: you will fly over the surface of Mars and pass through the rings of Saturn. The artistic planet-pathway (with sculptures by Jef Claerhout) will complete your voyage of discovery into outer space.
