The majestic silence of the stars has inspired not only scientific
scrutiny, but also some of the world’s loveliest poetry and
music. Down through the ages, people have found a source of profound
thought in the vastness of the universe. 
Even in these days of smog-filled skies, there is a place where one may still see clearly the brilliant night time heavens. Within reach of almost everyone in Birmingham and surrounding areas is the Robert R. Meyer Planetarium. Although the planetarium sky is an artificial one, you can still feel as though you are sitting outdoors and gazing up at the stars.
The Meyer Planetarium has received thousands of visitors since it was dedicated in 1964. It was a gift to Birmingham-Southern College from the Robert Meyer Foundation.
A listing of this season's programs is available in the General Public Show Schedule.
