"When you hear the word planetarium you think of planets. This planetarium
took us inside space. I was able to get a first class view of space. It was epic!
Well done Mr. Meyer!"
"The planetarium was an out-of-this-world experience. Before attending the planetarium I just saw stars in the sky. Now I know where to find planets and constellations such as Orion, the Big Dipper, and Taurus the Bull. Mr. Meyer gave me an informative experience that was more enjoyable than simply just looking in a textbook."
