StarLab Planetarium

Observe the beauty and science of the night sky in our inflatable planetarium. Inside StarLab’s 16 by 11 foot dome, a projector displays the night sky as it looks from anywhere on the Earth and any time of the night or year.

Design your own STARLAB show to best fit your needs. Choose from a variety of dynamic show topics such as:

• Shapes, constellations, and monthly changes in the sky
• Phases of the moon
• Star color
• Planets
• Greek / African / or North American mythology
• Chinese seasons and legends
• Ancient Egyptian culture and legends
• Earth and lunar cycles
• Using a star map at home

StarLab Outreach

Let us bring StarLab to you!

Not only does it save you money and time, but it also makes the StarLab available to your whole school in one day!  All you need is an indoor area at least 21 x 21 x 11 feet. A cafeteria, gym, stage, or library could be used. We will provide an instructor and all other necessary materials.

StarLab Fees: $75 per hour (1 class per hour) plus additional set up/materials fee of $75 for in Fayette County, $100 for outside Fayette County (set up/materials fee can be shared by several classes if programs are back to back). There is also a .41 cent per mile mileage fee (from LASC to your site and back).
