The Planetarium at Santa Fe Community College is an integral part of the astronomy curriculum at SFCC, but we also pride ourselves on our accessibility to the general public! We offer presentations on the solar system planets, phases of the Moon, tours of night sky constellations, shows on modern astrophysics (e.g. dark matter), galaxies & cosmology, astrobiology, and more. The immersive shows offered at our Planetarium are a fun and exciting way to explore the cosmos from the comfort of a reclining seat!
