VSU Planetarium
Our 47-seat planetarium is equipped with a Spitz A3P projector and reproduces the night sky with the moon, stars, and naked eye planets. The VSU Planetarium serves as a valuable teaching tool and as a facility for an extensive public outreach program. Astronomy majors give planetarium shows for thousands of school children who visit VSU each year. If you would like to bring a class of students, please read our Planetarium Policy
We also offer four public planetarium shows a year. This evening series is free of charge and open to all members of the public. Shows begin on Friday evenings at 8:00pm and 9:00 pm sharp.
All our shows are suitable for ages five and up; seating is on a first come first serve basis. Shows last approximately one hour followed by observatory open house, if weather permits.
