Since the beginning of the 80s, this planetarium has already worked as an independent institution. He was on the Resurrection Hill. The building was later transferred to the Catholic Church. Then the planetarium had a difficult period, it moved from place to place. In 2005, a new building was built for the planetarium. Six years later, the SpaceGate astronomical system (digital) was purchased,which can give an image of the starry sky on the dome, as well as show the annual and daily movement and the contours of the constellations. In addition, it became possible to demonstrate the show program in 3D format (3D video is projected onto the dome). After such innovations, the planetarium in Tomsk has become digital.
