CASE—short for the Center for Astronomy + Space Exploration—is a planned destination where guests will explore the universe through immersive experiences, interactive exhibits, advanced planetarium theaters, and engaging programs. With astronomy as its foundation and exploration as its central theme, CASE will transform the wonder of the cosmos into a personal journey of discovery.�
