Magic Tower - Up to the Star Trails!

Szez´m tárulj!
How many places it enchants us!

-Astronomy Museum: Let's go south! Línea meridional´lis (southern line)
Above the marble strip, on the southern wall of the tower, there is a small hole through which the Sun's rays fall on the southern line at the time of true noon - when the Sun is at noon. In the clear southern hours, the palm-sized spot of light crosses the meridian. When the spot of light reaches the middle of the central crescent, then there is "true south" in Eger. time.

-Planetarium: Travel around the Earth!
Who wouldn't want to fly among the stars, see exotic celestial phenomena, travel in the world of the giant planets, learn about the Sun-Earth-Moon relationship? Let's dive into the Milky Way! Let's go now! ;)

-Magic Room: "If I had been taught physics like this back then, I would have loved it."
The interactive tools of the Magic Room help you understand physical phenomena in a "comprehensible" way. Visitors can learn about fundamental physical phenomena through interesting, do-it-yourself experiments and play scientific "games".

-Camera Obscura (periscope) Big Brother is watching!
The structure of the CAMERA OBSCURA in Eger is a simple optical device: a huge camera in a closed room. The image created by it is projected onto a white tabletop, so you can see what is happening at a given point in the city at that moment.

-Panoramic terrace
Those who take the trouble to climb the 314 steps can enjoy a bird's-eye view of the entire Baroque city from the terrace. This spectacle is made even more interesting by the city's famous telescopes. The evening (night) telescope show is held here, attracting more and more visitors and interested people. The sight of the craters of the Moon, the rings of Saturn, the rising surface of Jupiter and its moons, which can be observed through a telescope, amazes everyone.
