 The planetarium's original magazine, "The Sky", merged with another journal, "The Telescope", to become the leading astronomy magazine "Sky & Telescope".The exhibits highlight human connection to the cosmos along with the scale and properties of the observable universe itself.The new Rose Center opened on 19 February 2000 with a model of only eight planets, excluding Pluto, when there has not been a scientific consensus whether it is a planet or not, and much of the American public thought of it as the ninth planet.
