Gladwin Planetarium
  Spitz Star Projector Planetarium remodeled in 2005 Credit: Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Gladwin Planetarium opened its doors in 1957. The original Spitz A1 projector brought the stars to tens of thousands until its renovation in the late 1970s. With a Spitz A3P affectionately named Alice, the planetarium continued to bring the marvels of the universe to our visitors. In 2005, the planetarium was again remodeled, this time with a Digistar 3 SP full-dome digital projection system that allows visitors to take a virtual flight through the stars. Other renovations included a digital Astro-FX automation system, an LED cove-lighting system, a new surround sound system, and new theater-style seats. Though the planetarium looks a little different than it did 49 years ago, some things never change. You can still count on interesting and engaging presentations designed for a variety of audiences. We look forward to seeing you soon! |
