- So my name is Chris Katella.
I'm the marketing and communications manager here at Morehead Planetarium Science Center.
- [Narrator] What is a planetarium?
- So what a planetarium is, is really a window into the night sky.
It's an opportunity to use technology to be able to explore the cosmos.
Now, Morehead was the first planetarium anywhere in the world on a college campus, and the first in the Southern United States.
Our mission is science for all.
We believe in being able to connect everybody to the wonders of science, STEM, all of those amazing fields, and so we wanna be able to inspire the next generation of thinkers, explorers.
