Our planetarium is an iconic structure at the heart of the OCC campus. With a 70-foot dome and Digistar 7 projector, Science on a Sphere system and a Foucault Pendulum, we have multiple features to engage our campus and local Orange County community.

Students from school districts throughout Southern California who visit the planetarium can experience core STEM concepts through programs that are engaging and fun. Regular showings are offered on weekends so everyone can come to enjoy a rotating schedule of breathtaking full-dome experiences that transport you to faraway worlds. With a large urban population within driving distance of Costa Mesa, CA we draw from many communities and school districts for our programming. 

The Planetarium Director is a first-line management position that integrates educational support with community-based education and entertainment. The Planetarium provides both fee-based and educational support services by developing and scheduling core and innovative programs, presentations, and events. The Planetarium Manager also assists with fundraising and public relations efforts as they pertain to the Planetarium.
