Ott Planetarium, Educational planetarium at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, United States.

The planetarium features a thirty-foot diameter perforated aluminum dome theater that accommodates sixty visitors for astronomical presentations and educational programs.

Named after Layton P. Ott and family, the facility received a one million dollar Congressional Earmark in 2006 for developing educational programs and purchasing advanced technology.

The planetarium produces original content called Astro Otters, which aligns with state curriculum requirements and includes programs narrated by astrophysicist Dr. Stacy Palen.

Visitors can access nine telescopes in the public observatory, offering opportunities to observe celestial objects during scheduled viewing sessions throughout the year.

The facility operates a 128 CPU render cluster for creating scientific star shows, implementing specialized visual effects through Blender 3D software for educational presentations.
