The Holt Planetarium at the University of California Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science has welcomed more than 50 million people to explore the night sky through a variety of programs. The planetarium also serves as a “proving ground” for the university’s Planetarium Activities for Student Success project that develops and tests audience participation programs for planetariums throughout the world. The all-digital projection system of the Holt Planetarium allows for full-dome video, displaying video clips, images, and other types of visuals anywhere across the dome. Audiences of up to 50 people can watch shows in the comfort of a reclined-back seat.
