SIDE NOTE:
The Ward Beecher Planetarium, located on the Youngstown State University (YSU) campus, serves as an astronomy and science education resource center for the Mahoning Valley and surrounding communities.
A major upgrade in 2006, generously funded by the Ward and Florence Beecher Foundations through their daughter, Eleanor Beecher Flad, replaced the original Spitz star projector with a GOTO Chronos and added the capability for fulldome video playback.
An additional upgrade by the Ward and Florence Beecher Foundations in 2017 has brought the latest in data visualizations to the planetarium, allowing guests to explore the universe in real-time.
