The W.A. Gayle Planetarium, operated by Troy University, is an astronomy education facility as well as a multimedia theater. In February, the Super Mediaglobe II was installed and it is the world’s first full-color single-lens digital planetarium.
The new technology improves the experience for visitors to the Planetarium and allows for exploration of Earth through the use of constantly updated satellite datasets of Earth’s land, ocean, atmosphere and climate of the entire planet. This is the only planetarium in Central Alabama. The planetarium is surrounded by a beautiful park. The W.A. Gayle Planetarium offers public shows throughout the week and no reservations are required.
