 This is St. Cloud State in a minute. The planetarium was built in 1973 at the same time as the WIC Science Building. Inside, the mechanism that lights up the planetarium's sky is a starball projector called Chronos. Chronos is one of only 16 operating in the United States and uses analog projection, giving exact replications of the night sky without much light pollution. In 2021, a full dome projection system was installed for scientific films with topics ranging from astronomy to zoology. The SCSU Planetarium welcomes over 2,000 visitors per year. It's a great field trip for school-aged kids or a family outing. The planetarium's most popular program is the tour of the current night sky, where visitors can learn how to identify nighttime objects seen without fancy equipment, such as telescopes or binoculars. That was St. Cloud State in a minute.
