SIDE NOTE:
The Leitner Family Observatory and Planetarium is a facility of the Yale Department of Astronomy dedicated to education, public outreach, and student research. Following the show on Tuesday nights (weather permitting), participants are invited to observe the night sky through one of the observatory’s telescopes.
Their digital planetarium theater uses a Spitz SciDomeHD system to simulate the Universe at any time from any place or to play back high-definition, full-dome videos. They use the planetarium to teach astronomy concepts to their undergraduate classes, to present programs for local school groups, to support astronomy programs at the Peabody Museum of Natural History, and to present planetarium shows to the general public
