StarLab Planetarium
"There is very little doubt in the minds of anyone who steps into the STARLAB dome, that it has a unique ability to draw everyone into a wonderful and magical world of astronomy — from novices to experts, from kindergarteners to grandparents, from students to teachers. The sky we see each night reveals many mysteries of our existence. By looking and listening to those distant worlds, we know so much more today about the origins of the universe, the nature of our galaxy, the composition of our Solar System, and the condition of our home — Earth.
STARLAB is a portable planetarium. It is an inflatable dome capable of accommodating about 25 students. Inside the dome, a cylinder projector is not only able to show us the night sky devoid of any light pollution; it can take us on a journey from the South Pole to the Equator and on to the North Pole. We can see the sky as it looks right now in New Jersey as well as at the far end of the Australian outback.
