The Planets
The planetarium is now featuring a new show 'The Planets' which provides an in-depth look at each planet and is narrated by Kate Mulgrew (Star Trek:Voyager captain). The show is specifically designed to immerse the audience in current images from NASA missions, and viewers will feel they are traveling through space as each planet is explored.
Girl Scouts, you now have your own planetarium page!
The planetarium is launching many new girl scout programs in 2009. Visit our girl scout website to find information on programs just for you and other resources for your badging and exploration.
