Educational Visits to the MCC Planetarium
We have several planetarium shows that portray a range of topics in astronomy. See our show listings for information about each show.
In addition to planetarium videos, our all-digital planetarium system is also capable of displaying the planets, moons, and stars of the night sky in many ways. For example, the Planetarium can display:
- phases and motion of the Moon
- daily rotation of the starry sky
- annual motion of the Sun
- motions of the planets
- constellations and bright stars
- Milky Way, clusters of stars, bright nebulas
- other galaxies throughout the Universe
The Planetarium is directly accessible from the driveway off Dobson Road. A parking circle is available for buses or vans carrying students for drop-off at and pick-up from the Planetarium.
