Although the theater is currently
closed, we will still be working to bring the
universe to the people of Ocean County and the
surrounding area. A variety of school outreach
programs have been assembled and our knowledgeable
lecturers are available to bring these programs
to your students. Similar programs are also an
excellent option for scout groups and afterschool
programs.
The Astronomical Society of the
Toms River Area, remains active, and meets on
the 2nd Friday of each month at 8 PM in the College
Center on the Ocean County College campus (Directly
across from the Planetarium.) If you're interested
in learning more about astronomy and observing
the night sky, or need help with a telescope,
this may be the group for you!
The new planetarium theater will
feature the latest projection technology and allow
us to bring you the universe in innovative and
exciting new ways. The planetarium dome will become
a virtual 3D video space, allowing us to take
you on a journey from the smallest size scales
to the edge of the universe, and a new fiber-optic
star projector will provide a beautiful, crisp
view of the night sky. We are looking forward
to the day that the stars will return, shining
brighter than ever. Check back often for the latest
information, special events, and how you can become
a part of our universe.
Visit our local astronomy club ASTRA!
ASTRA is also part of NASA's Night
Sky Network!!
