About Our Planetarium

 

The Cook Education Center Planetarium at Navarro College is a large circular theater with a 60 foot diameter dome screen and 200 seats that specializes in showing informative astronomy and science themed programs.

 

The planetarium is primarily used as a Navarro College classroom and as an educational field trip destination for area schools and community organizations.

 

Teachers can find field trip information in our Teacher’s Corner. For a complete list of our presentations and show schedule, please visit the Planetarium Shows.
