The Planetarium's 30-foot dome seats 60 and presents regularly scheduled public shows via its Digitarium Alpha 2+ digital projector. The only public planetarium in West Tennessee outside of Memphis, the M. D. Anderson Planetarium serves the public as well as community and school groups with a wide range of presentations.
