The implementation of this project was delayed – to a new place on the street. Bolshaya Vasilkovskaya, near the Olympic metro station, the planetarium moved only in 1987. In the new building, the “Big Tseis IV” apparatus was installed, allowing to demonstrate 6500 stars of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
