If you've never been to Ocean County College's Robert J. Novins Planetarium, it's amazing.  As they explain, "the Novins Planetarium is a gateway to learning about our earth, the solar system, and beyond."  They also have programs for schools, camps, host birthday parties, and so much more.  After roughly a year, they're re-opening this weekend!
