6 The New Detroit Science Center 2001 Report to Our Community 7 Hundreds of visitors gathered for the Digital Dome Planetarium opening.

Digital Dome Planetarium Detroit Science Center founder Dexter Ferry dreamed of a planetarium where children could explore the heavens and beyond. In December 2001 that dream became a reality.

The New Detroit Science Center’s Digital Dome Planetarium was the crowning jewel of the Science Center’s $29.2 million renovation and expansion. It opened with a virtual reality journey called Views of the Universe, produced by The New Detroit Science Center’s Planetarium staff. Views of the Universe took audiences on a journey from the Detroit skyline to the solar system, with stops at the International Space Station, planets, nebulae, galaxies and even a black hole.

The public opening of the Digital Dome Planetarium was preceded by a series of special preview events for patrons, members and educators. One of the preview events was a “friendraiser” entitled Celestial Celebration. The evening was a heavenly success with more than 270 people in attendance of which 68 percent were new friends. In addition, the event generated more than $30,000.

The Digital Dome Planetarium is one of the world’s finest digital planetarium projection systems. Digistar® technology and Sky-Skan automation allow spectacular virtual reality journeys that take the audience through the rings of Saturn, into a black hole or anywhere in the universe. Images are
