The Texas A&M University-Commerce Planetarium has a 40-foot dome and recently upgraded to a Digistar 5 all-digital projection system which fills the dome with sights and sounds beyond imagination. The planetarium's 87 reclined seats immerse the audience in a space environment, filling their vision and appearing to take them beyond the confines of Earth.
The planetarium is open to the public for shows on Fridays
at 7 & 8 pm. Call 903-468-8652 for a recording indicating shows for given dates.
Each show lasts about 50 minutes and begins with a live presentation of the current night sky where constellations, stars, and planets are shown.

WOW!!!!, It was amazing and insightful, and the curator did a really amazing job explaining the constellation. Kudos to the team
It was interesting. But it was unconvincingly cut short at places, and few things were arbitrarily shown.
