Music will begin momentarily.

Welcome to the Battelle Planetarium. Please sit in one of the three rows of seats around the room. The best spots are in the middle of the room. All our stars are projected from the giant Spitz A3P Planetarium Projector in the middle of the room. It has approximately 4,300 little holes, some too small to put a piece of hair in. It's given over 80,000 shows.

Please don't take any pictures during the show or they'll turn out looking like the inside of a giant golf ball. If you have to leave early, please exit through the marked exit. This will prevent others from losing their night vision.

Picture donated by Erin Iesulauro Barker

This picture sat outside the planetarium for most of its existance. This picture was donated by Erin Iseulauro Barker who was given an 8x10 proof after the old bulding closed and who's related to Ed Young, who took the picture.
