Additional Activities
Lightning Man Show
The lightning demonstration is the main attraction at the Energy Discovery Centre. However, when the legendary inventor Aare Baumer steps into the huge Faraday cage and ends up face to face with the Tesla coils, which generate electrical current of up to 500,000 volts, it is no longer a simple demonstration, but a real show. Right in front of the audience Mr Baumer is dressed in a metal suit weighing tens of kilograms and sent into the cage to play with the lightning bolts. A tense experience is guaranteed!
The duration of the show is about 30 minutes.
Price: 250 € + VAT per show
Tour “A 100-year-old Power Plant”

The Current Starry Sky
“The Current Starry Sky” is a planetarium show where we look at what’s going on in the sky right now. This means that the shows are never exactly the same! Planetarium Guide Rauno Pilvik helps us find the most exciting constellations and planets in the Solar System, which you can see with the naked eye when the conditions outside allow it, and he also explains how find the most exciting objects yourself.
The astronomy software used is Starry Night Pro Plus 7, the 3D database which allows us to see thousands of exoplanets, millions of stars and 200,000 galaxies, and which has more than a billion light years of space to travel through. The Starry Night database is constantly updated, as we are always learning something new about the universe.
The duration of the show is 30 minutes.
Price: 7 € + VAT per participant; at least 10 participants
Star Break
Is your convention day or seminar so busy that you don’t have time for a long break, but would still like to offer something different to the attendees? If so, we recommend “Star Break”, which is the short version of the Planetarium show “The Current Starry Sky”. The short break allows the attendees to stretch their legs – the Planetarium is located on the lowest floor of the Discovery Centre – and look at the sky, which has been a source of inspiration to people throughout time.
The duration of the “Star Break” is 15 minutes.
Price: 3 € + VAT per participant; at least 10 participants
Täna tähistaevas
“Täna tähistaevas” on planetaariumietendus, kus räägime sellest, mis just parasjagu taevas toimub. See aga tähendab, et etendus pole kunagi täpselt ühesugune! Avastuskeskuse planetarist Rauno Pilvik juhendab, kuidas leida üles põnevamaid tähtkujud ja Päikesesüsteemi planeete, mida võib heade tingimuste korral ka õues palja silmaga näha, ja annab ka näpunäiteid, kuidas põnevamaid objekte ise üles leida.
Energia avastuskeskuse planetaariumis kasutatakse astronoomiatarkvara Starry Night Pro Plus 7, mille 3D andmebaasiga näeb tuhandeid eksoplaneete, miljoneid tähti ja 200 000 galaktikat ning milles on üle miljardi valgusaasta ruumi rännata. Starry Night andmebaas uueneb pidevalt, kuna uuenevad ka meie teadmised universumist.
Etendus kestab pool tundi. Etendusele ootame vähemalt 10 osalejat, maksimaalne kohtade arv on 40.
