The Department of Math, Physics, Astronomy and Statistics at the University of Missouri- St. Louis is proud to operate the campus' planetarium. With funding from the NASA-Missouri Space Grant Consortium, we provide the Astronomy Outreach Program free of charge for elementary school students as well as participate in various community events. For more information on the program, please visit the Outreach Program pages to learn more.
On this site, you'll also find some information about the planetarium itself and some resource links for teachers, students, and the general community. Don't forget to check out our friends at the Richard D. Schwartz Observatory too!
We are dedicated to educational outreach, so please let us know if we can help you in any way, or if you have any suggestions for improvements.
