What is the Planetarium?

The planetarium simulates the night sky and can take visitors on a tour of the planets and the universe. The heart of the planetarium is an Elumenati digital projector with UniView data visualization software.  The programs also make use of a Spitz 512 planetarium projector, a video projector, multiple slide projectors, and special effects projectors. The result is a multimedia presentation which awes, amazes, entertains, and educates viewers of all ages.

What will you see at the Planetarium?

The planetarium offers approximately five different shows for the general public each year. Groups may choose the current public show of one from the planetarium's growing collection of shows. Most of the planetarium shows are about 45 minutes long, except for shows designed for pre-schoolers which run 20-25 minutes.

Where is the Planetarium located?

The planetarium is located at 11th Street and 8th Avenue South, on the MSUM campus in Bridges Hall #167 in Moorhead, Minnesota.
