Dear Nancy Glover,

        I found a listing for a company in Massachusetts that sells portable planetaria on the International Planetarium Society Web pages <http://metalab.unc.edu/ips/>. I know that the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, AZ has a portable planetarium. They might be able to give you information on where to get one. Their Web page is <http://www.lowell.edu/> and you can work your way to the planetarium through educational programs (I had seen a presentation about their traveling planetarium program which looks to work very well, they would probably be a good source of information about starting your own program).

        Good luck!

Somewhere there is a portable planetarium which sells for about $20,000 and
is available from a company in Kansas City--does anyone have a source for
this figment of someone's imagination?

thanks in advance.
