SIDE NOTE:
The Vanderbilt’s Charles and Helen Reichert Planetarium opened its doors to the public in 1971. The Planetarium enhanced Museum offerings and now offers cutting-edge programming in the most technologically advanced theater of its kind on Long Island. We serve local school districts, our community, and out-of-town visitors.
The Planetarium has diverse programming that includes fulldome films, live star talks, laser shows, concerts, and special events. It is also available as a venue for corporate events and other engagements. The Planetarium has a rooftop Observatory which is open to the public every Friday night, weather permitting. There, guided by an astronomy educator, visitors can examine the night sky through the Vanderbilt’s 16-inch Meade reflecting telescope.
