    This portable, inflatable planetarium, which features a state-of-the-art digital projector, is the latest tool in the arsenal of the Museum's Education Division, and will help students understand astronomical concepts and make science enjoyable. The photo shows the inflated planetarium with an digital overlay demonstrating what audience members see inside the structure, in this case the constellations. The plantetarium became operational in 2010.
