Paul McFarlane, Director of the Fleischmann Planetarium & Science Center, presents "Adventures in Aerospace"

Paul McFarlane taught for more than 25 years in the Washoe County School District.

He studied astronomy and astrophysics at UNR’s Department of Physics, doing coursework and research using the MacLean Observatory telescopes at the Redfield Campus. McFarlane also trained at Johnson & Kennedy Space Centers with aerospace & NASA experts in astronomy, engineering, and planetary science. 

Since coming to Nevada when he was a kid, he has had the joy of exploring air and space with Nevada’s next generation of pilots, astronauts, engineers, and explorers.

Discover past, present, and future projects he’s been involved in, from participating in the Balloon Races and shooting the Air Races, to founding a NASA-based space center and working to bring the most advanced 360-degree visualization system in the world to Fleischmann Planetarium. 

Explore how we can all continue to reach for the stars!

"Our mission at the Planetarium is to engage, educate and explore. We get to engage people with the adventure of space and stars and planets. We get to explore the Universe. And in the process, we get to educate ourselves about our place in space and time." - Paul McFarlane
