LCC Planetarium

LCC Planetarium programs are available free of charge to schools, scouts, and other groups.  Programs are presented on Fridays during the school year and are usually about an hour long.  The Planetarium is used to observe the night sky, noting the motions of the Sun, the Moon, the planets and the stars.  Images of these celestial objects compare and contrast their characteristics.  Programs follow grade-appropriate Michigan Curriculum Framework Science Benchmarks for the solar system, galaxy and the universe.  Special, custom-made programs can be designed to accommodate the needs of any group with advanced notice.

Please call the Science Department at 517-483-1092 for more information or to schedule a program date.  Feel free to contact the Planetarium Director at 517-483-1195 to discuss special program requests.  The Planetarium is located on the 4^th floor of the Arts and Sciences building on LCC’s main campus.
