Fleischmann Planetarium & Science Center
Fleischmann Planetarium & Science Center, Science center and planetarium at University of Nevada, Reno, United States
The Fleischmann Planetarium features a 30-foot diameter dome theater equipped with a Spitz SciDome digital projector for astronomical displays and educational presentations.
Constructed in 1963, this facility made history as the first planetarium in the United States to incorporate a 360-degree projector system for complete horizon coverage.
The planetarium connects the Nevada community with space education through regular star shows, astronomical events, and collaborative programs with the university departments.
Visitors can attend daily shows in the 60-seat Star Theater, explore the Hall of Solar System exhibits, and purchase educational materials at the Science Store.
The building showcases a hyperbolic paraboloid architectural design by Raymond Hellmann, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
