Ocean County Planetarium Re-Opens
The new Novins Planetarium Sky Theater at Ocean Community College features some of the latest projection technology to bring you the universe in innovative and exciting new ways. The planetarium dome is a virtual 3-D video space, no longer restricted to simply an earthbound view of the sky, they can now take you on a journey from the smallest size scales to the edge of the universe. To see the night sky as viewed from Earth, the new fiber-optic star projector will provide a beautiful, crisp view of the night sky.
The newly renovated planetarium remains one of the largest and most active planetariums in New Jersey. New technology provides Planetarium staff with exciting new ways to bring you the wonders of the universe and you'll find a variety of programs for all ages. With new opening shows, younger visitors can take an exciting journey through the solar system with Secret of the Cardboard Rocket. The feature presentation is Dawn of the Space Age, an incredible and inspiring look at humanity's venture into space, past, present and future. Of course, the night sky is not to be ignored; 
Exploring the Fall Skyis our chance to bring out the beautiful starfield of the brand new Zeiss star projector and show you some of the bright stars, constellations and other celestial highlights of the current night sky.
School field trips to the planetarium have resumed and they offer a variety of shows for school groups, each based on grade level and specific topics. In addition, they continue to offer traveling school programs where experienced presenters are available to bring these programs to students. Reservations are now being accepted.
