Planetarium
The Ask Jeeves Planetarium seats 240 people under a 70-foot (21 m) diameter dome, and features live weekly shows and daily pre-recorded "fulldome" shows. The weekly live shows are presented by a staff astronomer.
- Live Show:
Cosmos 360 (Fridays and Saturdays, 7pm and 9pm) uses the planetarium's digital fulldome system to view the night sky as well as flying through space to see the universe from a different perspective. The guided tour include in-depth views of planets, constelations and other current astronomical events. The show is updated to reflect seasonal night skies.
- Daily Shows:
The daily shows range from content geared for young children through more sophisticated shows designed for a general audience.
A complete schedule and listing of daily shows as well as current show times can be found at the center's planetarium page.

Famous quotes containing the word planetarium:
“In a large university, there are as many deans and executive heads as there are schools and departments. Their relations to one another are intricate and periodic; in fact, “galaxy” is too loose a term: it is a planetarium of deans with the President of the University as a central sun. One can see eclipses, inner systems, and oppositions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
