Tycho Brahe Planetarium

[1][2] The planetarium is built where the Saltlageret theater was previously located.

The foundation stone was placed on February 22, 1988, and the planetarium opened on November 1, 1989.

The financial basis for building the planetarium was a 50,000,000 DKK donation by the foundation Bodil Pedersen Fonden to the foundation Uraniafonden, which administered the construction of the planetarium.

Since 1989, the Bodil Pedersen Fonden has also awarded the annual Tycho Brahe Medaljen.

Weighing more than 200 grams, it was brought back to Earth by the crew on the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
