ABOUT
Alden Digital Planetarium
In 2007, the Alden Digital Planetarium became the first of its kind in Massachusetts. Featuring Digital Light Processing technology from Sky-Skan, Inc., the EcoTarium's planetarium uses images from NASA and the Hubble Space Telescope to create a three-dimensional solar system projected onto a 40-foot dome. With immersive surround sound technology from Bose, the planetarium offers a 360-degree, multi-sensory experience. Even more exciting, this is one of less than 10 planetariums that operate in partnership with National Geographic!
