Our digital star-naming program is a unique fundraising tool designed to engage our community and bring you closer to the wonders of space. When you “claim” a star in our Digital Universe, you’re not buying a real star. Instead, you’re supporting the Shiras Planetarium and our mission to bring educational and immersive space experiences to the Upper Peninsula. Your contribution helps fund our technology, programming, and upgrades, ensuring the planetarium can serve as a gathering place for learning, creativity, and discovery.
