Welcome to the Georgia Southern Planetarium! During the fall and spring semesters we offer educational planetarium presentations for school and public groups grades Pre-K - 12 and adults at no charge weekdays by reservation only. We also offer public evenings once a month for all ages. Over 6,000 stars can be projected onto the 30 foot dome using our Spitz A4 star projector. We can seat 75 visitors with unidirectional seating. For the hearing impaired, we have "Light-Talk" (glow in the dark) gloves for your interpreter to sign with during shows. We also have astronomy tactiles for visually impaired visitors.

Our lobby is equipped with ViewSpace, a streaming multimedia presentation from the Space Telescope Science Institute. Enjoy the daily updates from missions into our solar systems and the Hubble Space Telescope.

Join us for a fascinating journey into our universe as we explore the stars, planets, constellations, and even other galaxies in our night sky.

For more information or to schedule a presentation for your school or group, please call the Department of Physics at (912) 681-5292.
