Wow Mary! These are really cool photographs! Thank you for taking the time to share this with everyone. It is really weird to see that big hole in the old dome – it’s alomost like seeing a big hole in the wall of my home! I’m REALLY excited to see more of the renovation and for the re-opening of a brand new state of the art dome!
On March 10, 1973, the Space Theater at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center opened to the public, featuring America's first IMAX Theater and the first "tilted dome" planetarium in the world.
On September 4, 2008, the Space Theater "went dark" for an extreme makeover! New seamless dome screen, new sound system, new seats and much more! Renovations are now complete and the theater reopened on December 13, 2008!
The theater renovation is part of a $20 million capital campaign, "Creating Possibilities, Inspiring Tomorrow."

Mary,
Thanks for the wonderful comparison! How strange it seems. And it gets more interesting every day.
