The Fleischmann Atmospherium Planetarium was built in 1963[1] on the University of Nevada-Reno campus. It was the first planetarium in the United States to feature a 360-degree projector capable of providing horizon-to-horizon images and through time-lapse photography showing an entire day’s weather in a few minutes.
Currently it offers public star shows.[2]
The planetarium’s uniquely shaped building, a “hyperbolic paraboloid,” was designed by famed Reno architect Raymond M. Hellmann, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings
