The James S. McDonnell Planetarium is located in Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri.
The James S. McDonnell Planetarium was built in 1963 and operated by the city of St. Louis. In 1983 it became part of the St. Louis Science Center, to which it is joined by an enclosed pedestrian bridge across Interstate 64, reopening in 1985 after extensive remodelling. The planetarium features a Zeiss Planetarium Model IX projector capable of showing the locations of 9000 stars and the planets on an 80-foot (24 m) dome. In addition to the planetarium theater, the building is home to many displays on space sciences on two levels.[1]
The shape of the building's unique roof is known mathematically as a hyperboloid of one sheet.
