Overview
Since 1973, the Longo Planetarium at County College of Morris has been bringing stars to Northern New Jersey.
Here you can explore the Universe from the Earth and other planets in our Solar System... to stars, galaxies and beyond. The Digistar 7 planetarium system displays thousands of stars, the planets and the Moon onto a 33-foot diameter dome.
The planetarium is offering star shows for the general public, on the second and fourth weekend of the month. The planetarium’s most popular shows are “Big Astronomy” and “One Sky”. “Big Astronomy” explores the giant telescopes used to probe the deep inky reaches of the Universe. “One Sky” is a great introduction for kids to the night sky utilizing stories from around the world.

All programs start promptly at the times indicated. For your safety, guests will not be admitted or readmitted to the Planetarium theater once the lights are off, so please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before showtime.
