Forget everything you knew
of a planetarium. Now in addition to the spectacular star
field of our Zeiss Model VIa planetarium instrument, America's Bicentennial gift
from the people of West Germany, the Einstein Planetarium
has been upgraded to include a first-of-its-kind, Sky Vision
dual digital projection system and six-channel digital surround
sound. For the first time, you'll feel the sensation of zooming
through the cosmos, enveloped in color saturated moving images
and spine-tingling sound.
