Entry No. 41 — the San Diego file — filed under: planetarium

Palomar College Planetarium

A full research-grade fulldome theater built into the middle of a community college campus — Friday-night public shows like "Voyager: The Never Ending Journey" run right alongside astronomy department telescope-viewing sessions, behind a parking lot most locals have driven past without ever noticing.

The move: Catch a Friday-night public fulldome show, then step outside afterward for the department's telescope viewing on the plaza.
