When was the last time your toured the Solar System? Have you ever witnessed the explosive death of a star or journeyed inside a living cell? You can when you visit Shawnee State University's Clark Planetarium!

Located inside the Advanced Technology Center, the Clark Planetarium is a large room with 66 seats under a domed projection screen. The key piece of equipment in the planetarium is the Digistar II Projection System. Digistar II is the state of the art in calligraphic planetarium projection systems. The Clark Planetarium is privileged to be among the worlds most advanced planetariums that utilize a Digistar II projector. Not only does this system project a realistic view of the nighttime sky; it can also project rendered images of buildings, spacecraft, and much more.

A computer automation system controls all of the devices in the planetarium making each program a multimedia experience of sight and sound. Audience participation is requested as part of some planetarium programs.
