About Austin Planetarium
The Austin Planetarium is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose goal is furthering science education by building a state-of-the-art Planetarium and Science & Technology Center in Austin, TX. Austin is presently the largest city in the United States without a planetarium or science museum, but through fundraising and building awareness we plan to change that.
