DETROIT — The Michigan Science Center reopened its Planetarium Friday after a year-long project for upgrades.

The upgrades include new 8K digital projection, a new 5.1 audio system, new inclined seating, an advanced NanoSeam dome and real-time scientific data visualization tools.

"Our team has worked tirelessly over the last year to bring children, families, school groups, and space enthusiasts one of the most immersive space experiences we can create here on Earth," said Mi-Sci President & CEO Dr. Christian Greer said in a statement. "If you love science fiction, cosmic journeys, or simply looking up at the night sky to wonder what’s beyond, this show is definitely for you."

The Michigan Science Center is located on the corner of Warren Ave. and John R Street in Detroit's Midtown neighborhood.
