Welcome to Abrams Planetarium

The planetarium theater is closed for renovations. Shows will return in September. The planetarium office will be open regular hours during the renovations.
       The Talbert and Leota Abrams Planetarium, located on the beautiful Michigan State University campus, serves as an astronomy and space science education resource center for central Michigan. The planetarium is an outreach unit of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, and as such, we support astronomy teaching on campus as well as offer a variety of planetarium shows to the public--preschool through senior citizens.
