The Brown Planetarium is part of the Department of Physics and Astronomy and is an immersive theater where state-of-the-art technology transforms the 16-meter (roughly 52-foot) dome into a simulation of the night sky as seen from Earth and from space. “Fly” through Saturn’s rings, land on Mars, travel to distant stars and galaxies and more.
