Final Planetarium Shows before Closure for Renovation
Dear all,
The planetarium is scheduled to shut down later this month to begin a long-awaited renovation.
If you haven't had a chance to see our classic Spitz 512 star projector in action, or if you'd just
like to catch one last show, now is the time. The planetarium will be closed for many months.
After more than 50 years in operation, this Spitz projector still provides a beautiful night sky as
it would be seen in many of the darkest places on Earth.
