Please note that the Planetarium is currently closed
for renovations and will remain closed until 2010.
Please check back frequently for further information as the project progresses. Meanwhile, we will be offering a variety of events outside of the planetarium theater.
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 presenters 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 progresses.
Meanwhile, please join us for a variety of events that will be taking place outside of the planetarium.
