From “Morehead Planetarium,”
Published 1975 by UNC Press
The Morehead Planetarium Building was principally inspired by Morehead’s wish to do something special for the children of North Carolina.
He was advised by the eminent Harvard astronomer Harlow Shapley that a planetarium would be a source of great cultural enrichment to citizens of all ages.
