In 2010, Bryan-Gooding Planetarium opened its doors at MOSH. The complete renovation of the equipment and the theater included a new state-of-the-art SkyLase laser system. The upgrade – coupled with a new digital sound system – makes for a completely new and improved Cosmic Concert experience!

My only "complaint" is that they have turned the volume down considerably, but that is probably a good thing for your hearing. I just remember leaving and my ears ringing for 30 minutes after the show, and loving it. Definitely get the 3D glasses, they add a lot to the images on the dome.
