Morehead Planetarium and Science Center is located on the campus of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. The Morehead Building houses the GSK Fulldome Theater, as well as the Science Stage, exhibits, and Morehead classrooms. In front of Morehead, along Franklin Street, you will find our large iconic sundial.The Morehead Building and planetarium was built as a gift from John Motley Morehead III, UNC class of 1891. Since the planetarium opened in 1949, millions of North Carolina students, teachers and families, as well as visitors from around the world, have benefited from Morehead science programs. Many of the planetarium's shows are original productions, written and designed by Morehead's production team.Morehead's programs include classes for adults and children, special courses for teachers, summer camps for children, field trips, outreach & mobile planetarium programs, after-school programs, memberships, public viewings of astronomical events and public lectures. See more at: http://moreheadplanetarium.org/programs/. Morehead has made history twice - during the 1960s and 1970s, as a training site for NASA astronauts (including eleven Moon walkers), and in 2010, as the founder and coordinator of the North Carolina Science Festival, the first statewide science festival in the United States. Its award-winning original fulldome planetarium shows have been leased to dozens of other planetariums worldwide.For more information on Morehead programs, visit www.moreheadplanetarium.org or call 919-962-1236.
