Welcome to the WVU Planetarium & Observatory.
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.
Our mission is to serve the state-wide West Virginia community by connecting people to the Universe.
Upcoming Events:
♦ All shows are FREE, but reservations are required. If you need to cancel your reservation, please let us know as soon as possible.
♦ Go to our "Showtimes" tab to reserve spaces for our shows every other Friday. We generally have children's shows at 7pm (or 8pm in Summer) and advanced shows at 8pm (or 9pm in Summer) followed by rooftop telescope observing, weather permitting.
♦ Please join our mailing list, Mountaineer Skies, or keep an eye on our Facebook: WVU Planetarium, Twitter: @WVUPlanetarium, and this website for further updates. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at planetarium@mail.wvu.edu, call us at 304-293-4961, or send us a message on Facebook!
♦ All visitors must follow WVU Safety Guidelines. Shows start promptly on time and doors open about 15-minutes prior to the show. Note that once the show has started and the doors have closed, we do not permit additional guests to enter for both safety concerns and to not interrupt the viewing experience. Thank you for your understanding.
