Description

jacksonms.gov:
Come experience the universe in one of the South's largest and best equipped planetariums! Our giant hemispheric theater, named after Dr. Ronald E. McNair, has been newly outfitted with a state-of-the-art 4k fulldome digital projection system, and it's going to blow you away.  The totally immersive fulldome digital cinema experience is like no other, giving you a front row seat for the action in ways that no flat screen ever could.

From entertaining feature shows to enriching educational content, our new digital Minolta Super MediaGlobe II system is ready and waiting to take you to the depths of the oceans to swim with the fish, into the past to roam with dinosaurs, into the heavens to fly right up to the planets and stars, and everywhere in between!

The Russell C. Davis Planetarium was built primarily for presenting educational and entertaining shows regarding astronomy or for training in celestial navigation. A dominant feature of the planetarium is the large dome-shaped projection screen where scenes of stars, planets and other celestial objects appear and simulate the “motions of the heavens'. In the past, our systems could display the sky at any point in time: past, present or future and show the night sky as it would appear from any location on Earth.  But now, as the city of Jackson moves into the digital age, we are capable not only of simulating earthly stargazing, but of escaping the bonds of our planet's gravity and flying all the way to the edge of the known universe, with all the cosmic sight-seeing you could imagine on the way.
