Welcome to the WVU Planetarium
For more than 30 years, the planetarium at West Virginia University has given Morgantown
and the surrounding communities a
glimpse into worlds beyond our own. Sitting atop White Hall, the planetarium has served
thousands of people each year, including
hundreds of WVU students.
Upcoming Events:
♦ We will be hosting shows for Diversity Week on September 19th. Our special show "Being Black in STEM," which highlights the contributions of four black leaders in STEM, will be shown at 5 PM followed by the film "Outlier: the Story of Katherine Johnson" at 6 PM.
♦ On September 20th, join us for special shows at 7pm and 8pm in honor of the global youth climate movement and the WVU Climate Action week. We will talk about climate change from a planetary perspective and show the award-winning full-dome film, "Dynamic Earth." Dr. Martina Angela Caretta, a WVU Geography professor, will join us to discuss her role with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and help us connect our show to larger geopolitical issues.
♦ Weather permitting, we will open the rooftop observatory for telescope viewing following the shows!
