The next free public shows at the Columbia Public Schools’ (CPS) Planetarium, located in Rock Bridge High School (4303 S Providence Rd), will be on Saturday, October 10, 2015.
CPS Planetarium Starball for projecting the night sky.
The Planetarium is a wonderful resource for Columbia! For the public shows, an astronomy film is shown on the full overhead dome screen, followed by a star talk—showing the current stars and planets you can find in the night sky. Public shows are held on the second Saturday of the month (except February, which will be the first Saturday). Registration is recommended to ensure a seat, but if you are not registered, you can still go and see if there are openings for a scheduled show. Registration links are posted on the Website approximately two weeks before each public show. Admission is free, and donations of $2 per person are always welcome.
