 Out-of-this-world
birthdays!
The Planetarium theater will be closed
for the remainder of 2008.
We are currently preparing for renovation and
an exciting new future! Our 35-year old Minolta
star projector will be replaced by a brand new,
fiber-optic based star projector creating a bright
crisp rendition of the night sky for traditional
earth-based astronomy presentations. The 200 or
so additional projectors and special effects that
created planetary landscapes and all of our other
visuals will also be replaced. A full-dome video
system will take their place, turning the Novins
Planetarium dome into a 3-dimensional video space
that will allow our presentors to take you on
a journey through the known universe, under the
oceans, or even through the human body.
Please check back frequently for further information
as the project progesses.
Meanwhile, please join us for a variety of events
that will be taking place outside of the planetarium.
Birthday parties are not available
at this time, but will return when the planetarium
reopens following renovations.
Phone 732-255-0400 ext 2111 for further information.
