SIDE NOTE:
Following the tragedy of the January 28, 1986 Challenger 51-L “Teacher in Space” launch, the families of the Challenger crew vowed to continue the crew’s mission of broadening scientific knowledge through education.
The Challenger Learning Center Downtown Digital Dome Theatre and Planetarium is a 50-foot, high-definition theater with a 20,600-watt Dolby 5.1 surround sound system and state-of-the-art projectors that seats 128.
The Downtown Digital Dome features educational and entertaining programming for all. Visitors are also able to view the night sky and explore the galaxy without the use of the outdated mechanical star-ball common to other planetariums.
