What’s Going On?
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."
On November 30th the Heikoff Dome Theater was closed for a single day while 4 of the worlds brightest, biggest video projectors were lowered into place. The following 2 months will be filled with installing and fine tuning the equipment to provide the amazing dome filling immersive visual experience called Fulldome.

Very cool, but when are they going to bring back the Laserium type of show? I hope it is sooner than later. Sonicview?
Funny you should ask. Rock on Demand starts March 3rd. It will play on Saturday nights. Classic rock from Pink Floyd, Beatles, U2, etc. Audience chooses what songs get played. Very cool visuals. Keep checking the website for more info or “like” us on Facebook for updates.
A lot of the show is already pre-created, but here is a segment of the show I am going to be able to add. It is already sliced and ready to play in the theater. Note that the audio in this YouTube sample will not be played, but rock and roll instead.
Here is another sample.
Nice photos Mary, And the shots of the first show are good also. Lots of folks are going to get a LOT of pleasure and education from this system, and all our hard work.
