Abstract:

In 1997, there were fourteen planetariums across the state. Yates describes one of the recent additions, the five-year-old Ingram Planetarium at Sunset Beach. The planetarium was the idea of the late Stuart Ingram and his wife, Louise. In 1991, he opened the Museum of Coastal Carolina at Ocean Isle Beach and ten years later acquired the funds to start a planetarium. The facility features a 40-foot dome and a 2000-square-foot exhibition hall.
