Montgomery College Takoma Park/Silver Spring, Maryland, USA Planetarium, Music/Laser Shows

planetarium at night

for 2006-2007 academic year

If you are interested in performing contact Dr. Harold Williams, an astrophysicist and Montgomery College planetarium coordinator and physics lab coordinator, at 240-567-1463.

Montgomery College's Planetarium hosts an innovative concert series featuring local area composers and musicians who perform avant-garde, electronic, new age, folk, dynamic minimalism, medieval, rock in roll, industrial, and any other type of musical performances with accompanying lasers and the planetarium sky projector. The performances are free to the public.  All evening planetarium programs include a star party after the show, if it is clear.  Star party means we look at the sky with telescopes.  We have a 10 inch (2540mm) Meade LX200-GPS-SMT, a 3 1/2  inch (88.9mm) Questar, and a 4 1/8 inch (105mm) Edmund Astroscan telescopes that we bring outside the planetarium when clear.  Bring your telescope to the star party, and we can have even more fun sharing, the more the merrier.
