Space Requirement Details:

Northern Stars Planetarium has two different sized domes, the Regular Dome and the Super Dome. The presentations are the same in either dome.

Program Length: The longer time requirement for the Super Dome is due to longer entrance and exit times needed for more students.

Noise Control: We must have quiet spot to do our shows effectively. Unfortunately, dividing a gym in two--half for the planetarium and half for phys-ed, does not work. We do not need a dark room, just a quiet one.

Handicap Accessibility

Wheelchairs: Wheelchairs are easily brought into the dome by just lifting the dome up and scooting in underneath. There are two limitations for our wheelchair patrons:

1. Vistors in wheelchairs have to be the first ones in, and the last ones out.
2. Access is sometimes limited by where the school or other hosting facility has us set up the planetarium.

Bad Backs and other Common Ailments: If you can't crawl or sit on the floor, please let us know. It's easy to get you in totally upright and add a chair. You just need to be the first one inside.

Hearing Impaired Individuals: We do not have the ability to sign our presentations directly and we do not have closed captioning. However, the planetarium presenter will be glad to wear a radio microphone for those who use one. If a student that has a sign language aide, we will provide a small red flashlight that gives enough light for the student to both see the interpreter and the sky at the same time. The planetarium presenter will show the signer the best location to sit so that the deaf student can see both the sky show and the signing.

Blind Individuals: Half of audio-visual presentations is sound. The audio alone can be quite educational and entertaining.
