Journey to distant galaxies, explore the solar system and settle back in a comfortable seat in the Sharpe Planetarium as you take a cosmic voyage through the universe.

The Lida Gammill Sharpe Planetarium, a 130-seat theater-in-the-round, uses planetarium technology to project star fields, visual images and patterns on a domed ceiling.  Augmented by a superb sound system, the Planetarium programs are a treat for the eyes and ears.

The Sharpe Planetarium is now open Tuesday through Saturday.

Construction required to make the Museum compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act necessitates the closing of the Planetarium for a brief period.

The current schedule calls for the work to be completed the first two weeks of January.  Planetarium shows will not be available January 4, 2010 - January 17, 2010.
