SIDE NOTE:
The current UNK Planetarium was built in 2008 and completed in 2009 as part of 14 million-dollar state project to renovate and modernize the existing Bruner Hall of Science. The star projector for the new facility was funded by a generous NASA Education Grant.
The Planetarium features a state-of-the-art projector, the Zeiss Skymaster ZKP4. Each of the seven thousand stars is individually projected on the dome with fiber optic technology. The Planetarium also features movie theater surround sound system.
