Please note that the Planetarium
theater will be closed for the remainder of 2008.
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!!
