While likely not on your radar, the Donald E. Bianchi Planetarium at Cal State Northridge is one of those destinations that manages to take education and transform it into something widely entertaining. Starting in the early evening, these guided observations are narrated with expertise and insight from staff of the university’s physics and astronomy departments. Providing a unique glimpse into the unknown galaxy, guests can explore planets, constellations, and endless skies that are guaranteed to evoke wonder and amazement. On occasion, the planetarium is also used as a tool for lecture, addressing a specific topic pertaining to the great wide-open space. Operating since 2004, this is an important resource for Southern Californians whether you have a college ID or not.
