In close partnership with Vanderbilt University's historic Dyer Observatory and Tennessee State University, the Physics & Astronomy departments of both Fisk University and Vanderbilt University are proud to announce a public outreach initiative comprising a giant inflatible planetarium. This initiative is administered by the Fisk Astronomy and Space Science Training (FASST) program, through funding from NASA.

By projecting a representation of the night sky onto the dome's interior, we are able to teach students about the Sun-Earth-Moon system, the solar-system planets and their motions, the constellations and Greek mythology, the nature of stars and many other celestial phenomena in a fun yet informative manner.

If you represent a school, community or educational institution in the state of Tennessee, and would like to request an astronomy presentation using our planetarium, please fill out the form below, and we will contact you in due course to arrange an appointment. The dome is 12-ft high and about 25-ft across, and must be used indoors, so please consider this when requesting a show. There is no charge for our educational services . Thank You.

This progam is registered as a participating member of the United Nation's International World Year of Physics 2005 initiative, celebrating 100 years of physics since Professor Albert Einstein was awarded his PhD from the University of Zurich.
