Operator

⚠ We could not confirm this venue is still operating — check before travelling. Russell C. Davis Planetarium; LF Examiner records a Konica Minolta (non-IMAX) dome system (2000). No current City of Jackson page could be reached to confirm operating status - left unknown rather than falsely closed.

This is a dome. The area above is the projected surface, worked out from the diameter by convention rather than measured — and it wraps above and behind you, so it isn't the same thing as the frontal area of a flat screen. Treat the score as a rough peer of the flat screens around it, not a like-for-like comparison.

Nobody we can cite states what projects the picture in this room, so the projector scores at the floor — neither credited with laser nor assumed to be xenon. Treat the score as indicative.
