The Star Lab has been an invaluable educational tool for us over the years. More and more research comes out each year supporting the conclusion that hands-on, experiential learning is more effective than sitting at a desk and listening to a lecture. If that is true, and I believe wholeheartedly that it is, then the Star Lab is an excellent way to provide that sort of education!

I don't think anyone is going to wipe the smile off of my face for a while. I know all of my students would thank you also, they love the dome and have told me how much it has not only helped them understand the astronomy standards I am teaching, but they now have a new interest in exploring the sky at night. Thanks again!
