Science Museum Oklahoma set to debut grand opening for ‘Love's Planetarium’

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - The Science Museum Oklahoma is prepping to open its doors to debut the brand new Love's Planetarium grand ceremony on Friday, September 20.

Science Museum Oklahoma says, the grand opening is set to showcase a state-of-the-art, GOTO Orpheus Star Ball and hybrid planetarium featuring 4k projectors as the result of years of planning and development. According to the museum, this technology allows audiences to see a night sky free of light pollution and journey through the universe.

“The experience of seeing a light pollution-free starry sky is something many in our city may never experience outside of a planetarium. Because Science Museum Oklahoma began as a planetarium, it feels like a very special gift to give future generations of astronomy enthusiasts.”

Science Museum Oklahoma President Sherry Marshall.

Public viewings in the Planetarium will begin at 2:00 p.m. on September 20, 2024.
Visitors should expect up to eight showings on Saturdays.

“This milestone is another step toward the bright future for Science Museum Oklahoma,” said Marshall. Our planetarium is years in the making and a critical part of bringing quality educational experiences that Oklahomans deserve.”
