SRU's planetarium is unique, because it is run entirely by students. There has been a slow migration from the old Spitz star projector to a digital projector. The capacity for seating is 50. Students organize the material and music for the shows, which includes full dome movies. Planetarium shows during the semester are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30-8:30PM, and it is free to the public.
Students who take Dr. Mukherjee's Astronomy and Space Science classes also use the planetarium. It serves as a venue for their service learning projects. Students design and choreograph shows for school children of all age group as well as for Boys Scouts and Girl Scouts.
