Hayden Planetarium, 81st and Central Park West, New York City

[ca. 1930–1945]

Hayden Planetarium, New York City, 81st Street and Central Park West. Of New York's many interesting sights, perhaps the most popular is the new Haden Planetarium. Here, under a vast dome is spread the whole drama of the Heavens by means of the Zeiss Projector which shows light images of the thousands of stars that are visible to the naked eye. Each presentation is accompanied by a lecture on astronomy, and the planetarium becomes at once a school, a theatre and a motion picture where man presents the Universe.
