The newest museum to bear the Carnegie name, The Carnegie Science Center, opened to the public on 1991 October . It is the successor to The Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science / Buhl Science Center which opened as this country's fifth major planetarium on 1939 October 24. The Carnegie Science Center is located on the North Shore of Pittsburgh's Lower North Side, just west and across Allegheny Avenue from Acrisure Stadium (originally known as Heniz Field), the newest home of the National Football League [NFL - AFC North] Pittsburgh Steelers professsional football team and the University of Pittsburgh's college football team, the Pitt Panthers. The Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science building is located one mile to the northeast, in Allegheny Center.

The Carnegie Science Center includes a new Henry Buhl, Jr. Planetarium* Observatory* (for a time, known as the Buhl Digital Dome), Rangos Giant Theater (previously an Omnimax Theater), Miniature Railroad and Village*, one million-volt Oudin-type Tesla Coil*, as well as a World War II diesel-electric submarine, the U.S.S. Requin(SS-481)*, moored in the Ohio River next to the Science Center building. Some years ago, The Carnegie Science Center included a Computer Lab*, Animal Room (including a bee hive and a chicken embryology exhibit), and a WPXI-TV 11 Weather Center*,
Note: Items with an asterisk * indicate that the exhibit or program began at The Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science.

The Carnegie Science Center is also the home to the Pittsburgh Regional Science and Engineering Fair. The third oldest Science Fair in the United States(the oldest regional Science Fair in a major metropolitan area; the two older fairs are state-wide fairs), under the affiliation of Science Service, Inc. which facilitates the International Science and Engineering Fair, it started as the Pittsburgh Regional School Science and Engineering Fair at The Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science in 1940. This competition is free to all students in grades 6-12 in public and non-public schools throughout 22 counties within Western Pennsylvania and 3 counties in northern West Virginia. The Science Fair is co-sponsored by Carnegie Mellon University, The Carnegie Science Center, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, University of Pittsburgh, and various foundations, universities, colleges, industries, corporations, and professional societies.

The fifth largest fragment from the Barringer Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona; it is on display near the entrance to the Henry Buhl, Jr. Planetarium (next to Planetary Weight Scale). This fragment came from a meteor[which, due to its iron-nickel composition, suggests that it came from the interior of a small planet], weighing 300,000 tons and measuring 150 feet across, which impacted this Arizona site some 50,000 years ago, traveling at a speed of 40,000 miles per hour; the force generated by its impact was equal to the explosion of 20 million tons of TNT. The Barringer Meteor Crater is approximately 0.75 mile in diameter. Other meteorites, including two large fragments(smaller than the 746-pound Meteorite) have been placed in storage at The Carnegie Science Center. More meteorites are displayed in the Hillman Hall of Minerals and Gems of The Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

The telescope was donated to The Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science in the 1950s. An 11-inch Brashear Refractor Telescope is used for free public star parties of the Nicholas E. Wagman Observatory, operated by the Amateur Astronomers' Association of Pittsburgh.

An annular eclipse happens when the moon covers the sun, but is too far from Earth to block it entirely. When the moon centers at the maximum eclipse, the sun will look like it has a “ring of fire” around it. This phenomenon will occur in Greenland and parts of Russia and Canada, but won’t be visible in the U.S., according to Carnegie Science Center’s Buhl Planetarium manager Mike Hennessy...
The eclipse kicks off an exciting summer for space lovers, Hennessy said. The Perseid meteor shower will be visible in August, and Jupiter and Saturn will move through the night sky during the second half of the summer.

The inspiration piece will come from Carnegie Science Center, which announced plans to open a new exhibit and programming focused on imagining humans life on Mars, and the newly announced Moonshot Museum, an endeavor of the North Side-based lunar tech company Astrobotic.
Astrobotic, the Keystone Space Collaborative, the Readiness Institute at Penn State and Discovery Space at State College will provide the training, summer programs, college programs, internships and eventual career pathways.
“This initiative will create opportunities for our region’s children to one day find their place in the space industry,” said Jason Brown, the director of Carnegie Science Center. “The way we want to do this is by first lighting the fires of inspiration and then clearing the barriers to entry.”
To start garnering interest among students, Astrobotic announced plans in May to open a Moonshot Museum, where visitors could watch as engineers and designers built a real spacecraft at the company’s North Side headquarters.
Visitors to the museum will watch as the professionals get to work and will also immerse themselves in the roles of space exploration, said Sam Moore, executive director of the Moonshot Museum. Each visitor will have a role to play based on their interests as they go through the experience. One visitor may be tasked with designing the rover while another will have to figure out how to get it to the moon.
Space exploration is “more than rocket scientists and engineers,” Mr. Moore said. “We want to light the spark for kids to follow an opportunity to space. We want them to find their place in the future of space exploration.”
Complimenting the Moonshot Museum, the Carnegie Science Center also recently announced plans to open a new 7,000-square-foot exhibition gallery called “Our Destiny in Space.” It will look at the questions that will face the future humans living on Mars.
Both exhibits plan to open in summer 2022.
Eventually, the group hopes to continue expanding in between the Science Center and Astrobotic in the North Side neighborhood, creating the headquarters for Pittsburgh’s space ecosystem. Those plans haven’t been started yet and the stakeholders are waiting on input from the community around them, Mr. Brown said.
Rep. Conor Lamb, D-Mt. Lebanon, who also attended the event, noted that the collaborative space initiative is coming at the right time. It fits in well the infrastructure plan President Joe Biden is working to push through, he said.

Salisbury, Stephan. "As Philly museums reopen, they brace for COVID-19′s financial wallop."
The Philadelphia Inquirer 2020 Sept. 13. First retrieved 2020 Sept. 15.
The Franklin Institute on Logan Square leans hard on such revenue — about 63% of its $35 million operating budget is generated by visitors and rentals. For the Please Touch Museum in Fairmount Park’s Memorial Hall, the percentage is even higher. About 85% of the Please Touch operating budget of approximately $8 million is generated by daily visitors. (Officials said that earned income accounts for about 30% of the Art Museum’s budget.)
Since the Franklin Institute reopened July 8, the first of Philadelphia’s signature cultural institutions to do so, it has been averaging 350 to 800 visitors over a five-day week, said president and chief executive Larry Dubinski, roughly 15% to 20% of pre-2020 numbers.
The city has restricted reopened museum operations to 25% of capacity.
"We went into this with very real eyes open,” said Dubinski. “Our theme from the beginning was ’We’ll survive it.’ We’ve got to survive it and then we’ll thrive, knowing that it’s going to be a slow build. We made some really difficult decisions early on. ... One is our expense reductions that we put in place early, which unfortunately you know included devastating [staff] reductions, I mean just devastating.”
Dubinski said that “philanthropic support has been really key” to maintaining operations, although a number of programs have been suspended, such as summer camp, overnights at the museum, and traveling science shows.
In the world of children's museums, Please Touch's pandemic struggles are familiar. Massive layoffs have taken place at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, the New Children's Museum in San Diego, the Minnesota Children's Museum, and the Chicago Children's Museum -- to name only a few. Many, including Pittsburgh and Chicago, remain closed.
Science museums tell a similar story. The Science Museum of Minnesota laid off most staff and has reportedly lost at least $10 million. The San Diego Natural History Museum has closed through the end of 2020. Dallas' Perot Museum of Nature and Science and the Pacific Science Center in Seattle enacted severe staff reductions. All have been hit hard.
“What I can tell you, primarily for science centers, is that a majority of our revenue is earned revenue,” said Dubinski, who chairs the Association of Science and Technology Centers. "When an institution shuts down and can no longer have visitors or rent out facilities for events, it is a devastating blow.
“We’ve all had to make the decision that our institutions need to be here for the long term,” he said. "That’s why I think you’ve seen so many science centers have to lay off staff. And at huge levels. I think you’ve seen children’s museums, as well, for similar reasons — they are much more membership and revenue focused.”

Tuesday, the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh announced they’d open to members June 26 and to the public on June 29.
And indeed, a message on the website of the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh – which relies heavily on hands-on exhibits and activities – said as of Monday the museum had no plans to reopen at this time. The National Aviary – unlike the zoo, an overwhelmingly indoor institution – also has not announced reopening plans.

In 1954, Charles Bowdish would do two displays – one for viewing in Brookville and one at Buhl Planetarium.
It is said 3,000 people viewed it in Pittsburgh in one day and that 1,500 people visited Brookville in the first week of the
display. He would do the same again in 1955 but that would be the last time he built a Brookville exhibit.
Bowdish continued to live in Brookville despite working with Buhl Planetarium as “model builder and consultant” until his death in 1988.
Bowdish’s miniature railroad display would later be moved to the Carnegie Science Center in 1992.

“Hello, my name is Jeff Goldblum, and you know what I want to say, “Welcome. Welcome, welcome, welcome to you ‘cause here you are at the Buhl Planetarium, which is what we like to say is a theater of the stars. Now, the stars that you are about to see aren’t movie stars, some people would call me a movie star, but these are profoundly large, brilliantly hot masses of gas and plasma, well, some of that actually does describe me.”

The "Theater of the Stars" was the original name for the Planetarium Theater at the original Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science.
Mr. Goldblum credits the original Buhl Planetarium with helping develop his sense of wonderment and curiosity.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 2017 Aug. 13.
The local hot spot to be for this one will be Carnegie Science Center on the North Shore, which is going all out with activities from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. that Monday.
With admission, Science Center guests can safely view it on equipment including a solar telescope. They can also watch live video feeds of the total eclipse in other places in the Science Stage, with commentary by center experts. There’ll even be a chance to use a solar telescope to take a photo with your mobile phone.
For an additional $5 ($3 for members), guests can get reserved seats in Buhl Planetarium for live feeds with commentary plus other shows and demonstrations, and those tickets come with a set of eclipse glasses.
The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh on the North Side is holding an “Eclipse Viewing Celebration from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Aug. 21. Guests will gather in front of the museum not just watch to directly through glasses, but also to hear eclipse folktales from around the world. In the museum’s Makeshop, guests can make their own pinhole projector to indirectly view the eclipse.
Mt. Lebanon Library’s 1 to 4 p.m. viewing party will include live feeds on a big screen indoors and, weather permitting, a safe-for-solar-viewing telescope provided by the Friends of the Zeiss (friendsofthezeiss.org).

Think of it as a very rare opportunity to get a unique glimpse "at our friendly neighborhood star," said Hennessy, who began working at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh in 1998 and was the creative force behind many of the center's most popular Science on the Road programs.

We got to the city mid-day Friday and headed straight for the four-floor Carnegie Science Center. The center, opened in 1991, is perched over the Ohio River on Pittsburgh's north shore. It is in the process of a $21 million expansion, which will include 14,000 additional feet of exhibit space when it is completed in spring 2018.
The next day we were off to the Children's Museum, also on Pittsburgh's north side...We all went "wow" when we turned a corner and found the "Garage," a former planetarium repurposed into a cavernous room of creative play.
We traveled from the museum to the Duquesne Incline, which the kids had watched go up and down the hill the day before from the windows of the Science Center.
By then, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History was getting ready to open and we squeezed what could have been easily an entire day of learning into two hours. The full-sized dinosaur skeletons were awesome, and the kids enjoyed getting hands-on time as paleontologists at the Bonehunters Quarry.
We also speed-walked through the adjoining Carnegie Museum of Art, with my 5-year-old tugging me forward chanting "this is boring, this is boring."

Local residents have a variety of opportunities available to learn about the wonders of the night sky. They can attend a live star identification show at the Buhl Planetarium to become skilled at locating planets, constellations and deep sky objects, or attend a monthly SkyWatch session at Carnegie Science Center’s rooftop Buhl Observatory to get a close look at the universe through our 16-inch telescope. Stargazers can also learn about the wonders of the night sky by attending one of the star parties offered by the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh.
The Buhl Observatory’s SkyWatch program happens monthly rain or shine. The observatory’s 16-inch telescope is used if skies are clear. In the event of inclement weather, a virtual tour of the night sky is presented in the Buhl Planetarium. Our next scheduled SkyWatch session is July 16.

“These are images that will be literally more than you can imagine,” Ralph Crewe with the Planetarium said.
And later this month, you’ll be invited to the Science Center roof to actually view Jupiter through the Planetarium’s powerful telescope. Those SkyWatch Nights will begin after dark on July 16 and 27.
“And we have a bunch of staff here that’s willing to answer all sorts of questions, any questions that anyone might have,” Charissa Sedor with the Planetarium said.

Last week, the Pittsburgh City Paper ran a story on a new initiative by museum and library workers in the city, to seek better pay, benefits, and greater say in the work place. For many of these cultural-industry workers, the issue came to the forefront when some non-profit employers, including Carnegie Museums and Carnegie Libraries, cut employee hours, to avoid the expense of complying with the Federal Affordable Care Act, thus denying these part-time workers the opportunity to purchase discounted health care insurance.
Included is a letter-to-the-editor by former Buhl Planetarium employee and former Andrew Carnegie Free Library and Music Hall Life Trustee Glenn A. Walsh regarding this issue. Viability of Carnegie Science Center's latest $55 million expansion plan is questioned.

Huge Robot Exhibit To Prevent Display of Zeiss II Planetarium Projector

On 2008 April 9, Carnegie Science Center officials announced a new permanent exhibit, "RoboWorld," will be installed in what was used as space for traveling exhibits on the second floor of the Science Center. When completed, the exhibit "will be the largest and most comprehensive robotics exhibit anywhere in the nation," said Science Center Director Joanna Haas. The exhibit will include Carnegie Mellon University's Robot Hall of Fame.

In 2002, Science Center officials had promised the City of Pittsburgh that some of this second floor space, near the Henry Buhl, Jr. Planetarium (now also known as the Buhl Digital Dome), would be used for a "Final Frontier" exhibit, which would include display of the historic Zeiss II Planetarium Projecctor, the oldest, operable major planetarium projector in the world prior to its 2002 October dismantling. Also included in the "Final Frontier" exhibit was to be another original Buhl Planetarium artifact, the large Mercator's Projection Map of the World, which was considered the world's largest such map when first installed at the 1939-1940 World's Fair in New York City.

The "Final Frontier" exhibit, which was not supposed to be dependent on the proposed $90 million expansion project which was cancelled in May of 2003, has never been developed. Nor has there been any word about the future of this proposed exhibit, which was a major reason why the City of Pittsburgh permitted the Science Center to remove the Zeiss II Planetarium Projecctor and the large Mercator's Projection Map of the World from the original Buhl Planetarium building. Now it seems this large, new, permanent robotics exhibit will preclude the ability to install the "Final Frontier" exhibit next to the Henry Buhl, Jr. Planetarium.

Friends of the Zeiss has always contended that the best place for the historic Buhl Planetarium artifacts is the original Buhl Planetarium building, the only place (due to custom-construction of the building) where the Zeiss II Planetarium Projecctor and the 10-inch Siderostat-type Refractor Telescope can be fully unitlized to teach science to children visiting the Children's Museum.
