WVU Planetarium

For more than 30 years, the planetarium at West Virginia University has given the Morgantown – and surrounding communities – a glimpse into worlds beyond our own! Sitting atop White Hall, the planetarium serves thousands of people each year, including hundreds of WVU students.

More than just an entertaining look at our universe, the planetarium features a variety of professionally created shows each year. Each show begins with a current sky show pointing out visible constellations, planets, and other exciting astronomical objects. Visitors then can see a variety of feature presentations that are both educational and entertaining. At the conclusion of the public show, guests are invited to see our observatory and take a look through our new 14” Celestron telescope at what is currently visible in the night sky.
