The Bassett Planetarium

The Bassett Planetarium, at Amherst College in Amherst, MA is open to groups by appointment only. Admission is free.

The planetarium is unusual in that it has not gone digital. The night sky is shown using a star projector made up of a very bright light inside a pierced metal lantern.

Visit the website for information about arranging a show for your school or group.

See this article from the Valley Advocate for more about the Basset Planetarium and its director, Steve Sauter.
