The Burke Baker Planetarium at The Houston Museum of Natural Science first opened back in 1964 and has since presented a variety of astronomical programs to visitors from both the general public and school groups. The dome of the planetarium was also used for training NASA Space Shuttle astronauts on how to identify starfields. Home to a SkySkan Digital Sky projector, the most advanced of its kind in the world, the Burke Baker Planetarium offers the latest in technology, including a Digistar 6 system that helps guests discover the universe, navigate asteroids, roam on the surface of planets, and much more.
