The state of Alabama has a rich legacy in its contribution to space exploration. Montgomery’s W. A. Gayle Planetarium is the major nexus for sharing that legacy with central and south Alabama. In that role, the W. A. Gayle Planetarium has served over one million customers since opening in 1968, presenting educational programs specifically designed for K-12 school grades to meet science curriculum objectives throughout the state of Alabama. In addition to its value as an educational tool, the planetarium is also a community and tourism attraction. The planetarium is operated by Troy University for The City of Montgomery.
