The planetarium has a 30 foot dome and is equipped with a Automated Spitz Model 512 star projector.  The projector accurately displays 3,500 stars, sun, moon and five visible planets.  Today, upgraded versions of the same projector are still being installed around the world.  The 60 anchored chairs face the same direction, while the star projector turns on its vertical axis to bring the sky into view in all directions.  Over forty slide and ancillary projectors add to the lessons.
