The 90-seat Noble Planetarium brings the first Zeiss-manufactured hybrid planetarium system – an immersive all-dome video combined with a fiber optic dual-hemisphere star projector to see more than 7,000 stars – to the Southwest United States. The planetarium also features an exhibit area that provides large screens with up-to-the-minute views of the Sun, as well as downlinks offering the latest information from the Hubble Telescope.
The Noble Planetarium is a giant leap into the 21st century, incorporating the very latest cutting-edge technology in the planetarium field. The planetarium shares space with the Cattle Raisers Museum and alternate astonomy programs with the Cattle Raisers’ introductory presentation, “Thundering Herd.”
