Be one of the first to witness the debut of the most technologically advanced digital theater in New England, featuring a broad range of out-of-this-world programming—from a high-impact search of the cosmos to a virtual exploration of Earth - like exoplanets orbiting stars beyond our Sun.Following a $9 million renovation, the Charles Hayden Planetarium is the most technologically advanced digital theater in New England, equipped to offer the next generation of educational programming and arts and entertainment experiences.
Two digital video projectors supply full-dome moving imagery. The dramatically improved digital surround-sound system and precision LED lighting system complete the immersive experience. But the star of the show is the new custom built fiber optic projector, the Zeiss Starmaster. The Starmaster includes a scintillation device to make almost 10,000 stars flicker as naturally as they appear to twinkle in the cosmos. Of those stars, 4,000 are visible to the naked eye. Bring your binoculoars and more will come into view - just like observing the real nighttime sky.
Now much more than a planetarium, it is a time machine taking us thousands of years into the future or the past; a spaceship flying us through the universe at unbelievable speeds; and a one-of-a-kind venue for music and the visual arts.
