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:
♦ Our annual "Season of Lights" holiday show will be shown at THREE different times this year! The shows will take place on Friday
December 13th at 5:00pm, 6:00pm, 7:00pm, and 8:00pm and we will also be giving away a telescope during these shows. Because of the
popularity of this event, RESERVATIONS ARE MANDATORY. Visit our Showtimes page to make your reservation now!
♦ Weather permitting, we will open the rooftop observatory for telescope viewing following the shows.
♦ Beginning January 2020, ALL of our shows will require reservations! Our shows for January and beyond will
be announced in December and reservations will be open after the holiday shows. Please remember to register
of you plan to attend the shows!
