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]
