Does the planetarium do laser light shows? We used to have those in another city I lived in where they would do music to popular bands (Pink Floyd, U2, Beatles, etc.) on various nights..?
Jennifer–I don’t think there have been any laser shows at the David M. Brown Planetarium, but that definitely sounds like a cool idea. That is something we should look into. Friends of Arlington’s David M. Brown Planetarium is planning an event in September that will include a demonstration by Spitz. They will set up one of their digital projectors at the planetarium and we will invite planetarium supporters to come see the awesome shows that Spitz distributes. Thank you for sharing your idea and supporting the planetarium!
Raphael,
I agree with Jennifer. (We had the same thing in Philly.) I think it would be a great way to attract a younger crowd to the cause.

Hi, Tina!
Unfortunately, the planetarium is closed during the summer; however, Friends of the Planetarium will be hosting “Sunday Science” presentations once a month during the summer. Next event is this Saturday: http://www.saveplanetarium/news. We’d love for you to stop by!
