Vaptsarov, next to the educational buildings. The hall of the building is designed for 120 seats, the diameter of its dome is 18 meters. In 1972, Stara Zagora purchased a Zeiss projection device, however, due to financial difficulties, the payment was never fully paid. The second reason for the resale of the device was the lack of a suitable building. As a result, Zeiss was acquired by the Bulgarian Navy Shipping Company to train cadets. Later it was decided to build a planetarium building in the courtyard of the VVMU. Soon the apparatus was out of order due to improper storage. Fortunately, it was replaced by the manufacturer with a more modern and modified device. The projection device was installed on four axes - – ecliptic, polar, horizontal and vertical.
