Starlab Planetarium is a portable, inflatable planetarium
that gives an accurate representation of the night sky. At the
heart of a Starlab planetarium is a cylinder projector that displays
the sky for any given day of the year, shows the motion of the stars
and the Sun, and illustrates the constellations. The 16' X 11'
dome is capable of accommodating 40 children or 25 adults, and is most
often set up in a gymnasium, large multi-purpose room, cafeteria,
or auditorium stage. Each program lasts approximately 45 minutes
and is customized to your audience's needs. Starlab can be used
by classes of every level, from primary school to Advanced Placement
science.

- Teachers looking for a unique way to express astronomy concepts in an interactive setting.
