The John C. Wells Planetarium at James Madison University is a $2 million, state-of-the-art, hybrid facility which offers free Saturday public shows from August through June, and is also available for use mid-week by school groups and community groups by reservation. Admission is free. The planetarium door opens 10 minutes before show time. Each show is followed by a 25-minute "star talk" that provides visitors with updates about the night sky, including constellations, planets, and any comets that might be visible. See website at www.jmu.edu/planetarium for title of shows currently playing. Also on site is the JMU Meteorite Collection, featuring fragments of meteoroids that survived passage through the atmosphere to fall to the earth's surface as masses of metal or stone. Free admission.
