Formerly a giant screen cinema, the Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium at the Liberty Science Center offers both live and pre-rendered content through ten high-resolution Christie Boxer™️ projectors, powered by Digistar in full 8K resolution.
Completed in 2017, the NanoSeam™️ repanel of the original 27-meter giant screen cinema dome provides an exceptional projection surface for the digital system. The increases in both brightness and resolution compared to the previous 15/70 film system deliver a smooth and uniform surface, ensuring the projected content looks its best.
Breathtaking Content
As part of one of the largest science centers in the world, the Chalsty Planetarium is one of the most recognizable experiences for more than 700,000 annual visitors. Because the planetarium is today equipped with ten digital projectors instead of the original 15/70 film system, our best-in-class auto-blending and auto-alignment utilities guarantee that both live-rendered and pre-rendered content are breathtaking.
