Event Details
Join us in celebrating the centennial anniversary of the world’s first projection planetarium! Our celebration includes a special screening of “100 Years of Eternity,” a 35-minute film takes viewers on a cultural and historical journey, the individual paths of which converge a century ago in Jena, Germany.
“Suddenly, it was there, all at once. That day in the summer of 1924, in a room whose dimensions seemed immeasurable, a small group of engineers and craftsmen gazed silently, accompanied only by the noise of a ventilation system, into the deep black of a starry firmament which seemed to reflect the splendor of eternity.”
Following the screening, we will host a 25-minute panel discussion with planetarium professionals from around the state to discuss the ever-evolving role of planetariums in society and their importance in keeping astronomy accessible.
