Planetarium Programs

NOW aVaILABLE ONLINE Our Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium is the biggest planetarium in the Western Hemisphere and fifth largest in the world, and is uniquely designed to display Earth and Space Systems phenomena in a way that’s just not possible in the classroom. View astronomical objects and celestial phenomena from the surface of Earth and then travel into space to truly understand these difficult concepts by flying up to, around, and through the objects. We can also speed up time in our presentations, allowing you to make an entire year of space systems observations during one program—seasons, moon phases, seasonal constellations, and more. Our 27-meter (89-foot) dome, coupled with an all-dome video and astronomical object database, provides an immersive environment in which to explore the Earth and Space Systems Performance Expectations of the NJSLS - Science (NGSS).

HOW IT WORKS ONLINE

Using the same advanced software as in our planetarium, we bring astronomy and aerospace content to the classroom and your students’ home screens. All of these programs are presented ‘live’ by an LSC Planetarium Educator and allow for lots of time for students to ask questions to the presenter.
