An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In the “Preserved Embassy” pavilion of the “Zaryadye” park, visitors are invited to an interactive lecture titled “The Kingdom of Large Mirrors.” Attendees will learn how the world’s largest telescopes are constructed, how glass is made for mirrors the size of a football field, what an optical surface looks like up close, and how huge laser installations help control nuclear fusion.

Also at the event, guests will see a starry sky appear on the walls with the help of a diffraction grating, and they will analyze how the atmosphere distorts light and how an interferometer works — a device that measures distances with exquisite precision.
