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 six public planetarium shows each year. This evening series is free of charge and open to all members of the public. All our shows are suitable for ages five and up. Shows begin on Friday evenings at 7:30 pm and 8:45 pm sharp and last approximately one hour. The shows are followed by observatory open house, if weather permits.
Seating is available only on a first come, first served basis. For additional information, please call the Department of Physics, Astronomy, and Geosciences at 229-333-5752.
