The Wayne State University planetarium is proud to feature a new state-of-the-art Spitz High Definition Digital System for presentation of modern planetarium shows. Learn about the planets, our Solar System, stars, galaxies, and other wonders of the Universe. Be dazzled by one of our amazing fulldome films.

Our Mission

Our mission carries three components: Teaching, Outreach, and Service to the Community. The planetarium provides a high profile learning environment for school children ages K-12, and Wayne State students enrolled in Physical Science courses - especially those enrolled in the Department’s new BA Astronomy program.
