The Herbert Trackman Planetarium is dedicated to continuing its tradition of outstanding astronomical instruction and entertainment. Due to the generosity of alumnus Herbert Trackman, the versatility of the Spitz System 512 planetarium projector has been augmented by a computer-controlled, multimedia automation system that also controls a video projection system.
Grade school and high school groups are encouraged to schedule special programs that may be presented during the school day. These free, public service programs are tailored to the grade level of students attending the program.
