SIDE NOTE:
The Northcountry Planetarium features a ZKP3/B Skymaster optical-mechanical built in Jena, Germany by Carl Zeiss AG. This particular planetarium device projects over 7,000 individual stars through 6.3 magnitude as well as 25 deep space objects such as nebula, star clusters and galaxies. In addition, the ZKP3/B can simulate the sky as seen from any point on Earth at any time within a few thousand years of the present.
The planetarium facility performs as a 360-degree multimedia sky theater, allowing visitors to experience live, interactive programs as well as automated productions that feature realistic night skies and virtual journeys through our solar system and distance deep space phenomena.
Parking: Due to limited parking in the Hudson Hall area, large numbers of cars or buses may be directed to other parking venues. The closest designated parking for planetarium guests is the Hawkins Hall P2 parking lot which is accessible from Cornelia Street.
