The Longo Planetarium @ CCM
JOURNEY TO THE EDGE OF DARKNESS AT THE PLANETARIUM
Digistar 7, the world’s most advanced planetarium system, has arrived at the County College of Morris’ Longo Planetarium! After a state-of-the-art computer and software upgrade, the planetarium is ready to launch visitors into an out-of-this-world experience under the stars.
The planetarium is offering star shows for the general public, on the second and fourth weekend of the month. This fall a new show “Edge of Darkness” will take you on a flight past a comet, through the asteroid belt and all the way out to distant Pluto at the dark cold rim of the Solar System!
The planetarium’s popular shows “Big Astronomy” and “One Sky” will also continue through the fall season. “Big Astronomy” explores the giant telescopes used to probe the deep inky reaches of the Universe. “One Sky” is a great introduction for kids to the night sky utilizing stories from around the world.
All shows include a brief tour of the night sky and planets.
