EDUCATION PROGRAM

Carnegie’s portable Cosmodome Planetarium/Theater can easily demonstrate how Earth’s spin and tilt influence the apparent motions of celestial objects we see in the sky above.  Accurate simulations inside the dome help students become acquainted with the lockstep progression of the basic constellations, the changing phases of Earth’s Moon, and the significance stars play in our understanding of just “where” and “when” we are in this expansive Universe. With 21st century software, the Cosmodome can also be used as a theater for full-dome or HD movies on any subject. NOTE: This giant dome is wheelchair/ADA accessible and accommodates up to 26 students. (The Cosmodome requires a room with at least a 26-foot diameter and 12-foot ceilings).
