About Peirce Planetarium

 Clarion University's Peirce Planetarium offers you a glimpse of the stars and planets of the night sky. It does so with its 40-foot dome, one of the largest in the state.

At the heart of the planetarium is a precision-engineered star ball that combines optical and electro-mechanical technology to provide an accurate view of the night sky and its apparent motion.

The planetarium is useful in providing education to faculty, students and the public as stargazers have an opportunity to see their favourite constellations at any hour of the day. The planetarium can be used to show the night sky as it would appear at any point in time, past or present, as it would appear from any point on Earth.
