Program Description

Event Details

Did you know that New Canaan High School (NCHS) has had a planetarium since 1971?

In May 2024, NCHS announced the opening of The Dome, a cutting-edge immersive and interactive learning theater, that now stands in the place of the original 1971 planetarium. The space has undergone a remarkable transformation, boasting a 30-ft, ceiling-mounted circular theater screen, dual 4K Sony projector system, LED cove lighting, and cinema-style seating.

Join us for a “field trip” to The Dome. NCHS Science teacher Jeffrey Brentson gives an overview of the new space and talks about upcoming astronomical events, including the next eclipse. Astronomy Club students will also share how they plan to use The Dome.
