		A dominant feature of most planetariums is the large dome-shaped projection screen onto which scenes of stars, planets and other celestial objects can be made to appear and move realistically to simulate the complex 'motions of the heavens'.
		Morehead Planetarium and Science Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the first planetarium that was built on a U.S. college campus.
		Today many planetariums are moving to a fully digital projection system, in which a single large projector with a fish eye lens, or a system of digital video projectors around the edge of the dome are used to create any scene provided to it from a computer.
