Astronomy is a very visual science.
Students are exposed early on to the wonders of the solar system, our Earth, and the universe at large. Young students have a natural curiosity of the world around them. The Planetarium helps to explain, demonstrate and satisfy that curiosity. A student internship is offered at the Planetarium to give students a hands-on opportunity to research, produce and perform programs of their own design. The Planetarium is also connected via Internet to the Pine Mountain Observatory, NASA and a number of science resource centers throughout the world.
