Ad Astra Planetarium
Welcome to AD ASTRA PLANETARIUM!

Ad Astra PlanetariumAd Astra Mobile Planetarium provides astronomy and science education for students and adults in the Wichita, Kansas area and beyond. Using a 6-meter inflatable dome and 4k digital projection system, we create an immersive environment that can display the night sky as it appears from any location on Earth at any time in history—or from any vantage point in the solar system! Through high-resolution visuals, narration, and music, the audience learns about constellations, planets, the structure of the universe, and more. It's an experience they won't soon forget! Available for schools, libraries, churches, community centers, private events, and more.

Ron MalloryABOUT THE PRESENTER
Planetarium presenter RON MALLORY first developed an interest in astronomy after taking a model rocketry class as an elective in elementary school, and his observations of Halley's Comet a few years later cemented this into a lifelong passion. During college he double-majored for a time in astrophysics and music composition, and while his professional work has primarily focused on the latter, he has always maintained an active side career in science education. Ron spent many years presenting numerous live science shows in schools, libraries, and museums, as well as planetarium shows under both fixed and portable domes, before founding Ad Astra Planetarium in 2023. His time spent as an educator at the high school and middle school levels helped him hone his teaching technique, and he draws from his arts background to creatively combine visual elements, music, and the spoken word to present shows that are both informative and entertaining for children and adults alike. You can find more about Ron's science education work at ronmscience.com, and more about his work in music composition at ronmallorymusic.com.
