Outreach: AstroSphere Portable Planetarium

Can't make it to the South Carolina State Museum for a field trip? Let our educators come to your classroom with our portable planetarium program, sponsored by Boeing. Recommended for all ages!

Step inside the AstroSphere and be transported through the solar system and beyond! Our portable planetarium is an inflatable dome featuring a star projector that brings the experience of the State Museum to you and your school! A trained SCSM educator will set the AstroSphere up and guide your students on a celestial journey covering a variety of topics that may include: basic navigation, star colors/brightness, constellations, asterisms, Earth’s rotation and axis tilt, and a brief viewing of the solar system or the Moon if time allows.
