The Austin Planetarium is an in-development planetarium, science museum, and technology center being planned for the downtown metro area of Austin, TX. According to the institution's website, the Austin Planetarium was incorporated in December 2003, and received federal nonprofit status as a 501 (c)(3) shortly afterward under the name "Friends of the Austin Planetarium".〔http://www.irs.gov/app/pub-78/searchFromResults.do?nameSearchTypeStarts=false&names=austin+planetarium&nameSearchTypeAll=true&city=&state=All...&country=USA&deductibility=all&dispatchMethod=search&searched.nameSearchTypeStarts=false&searched.names=austin+planetarium&searched.nameSearchTypeAll=false&searched.city=&searched.state=All...&searched.country=USA&searched.deductibility=all&searched.sortColumn=name&searched.indexOfFirstRow=0&searched.isDescending=false&submitName=Search〕 Austin is currently the largest city in the United States without a planetarium.〔http://impactnews.com/central-austin/recent-news/7049-plan-for-austin-science-museum-planetarium-evolves〕 ==Planning== The effort to build a planetarium in Austin is being led by Torvald Hessel, the current Executive Director of the Austin Planetarium.〔http://www.austinplanetarium.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=55&Itemid=71&lang=en〕 Hessel is a native of The Netherlands, where he earned a Masters Degree in Astrophysics from the University of Amsterdam. He previously worked as a lecturer, astronomy teacher, data modeler, and systems analyst.〔http://www.linkedin.com/pub/torvald-hessel/4/882/257〕 Although a site for the $60 million planetarium facility has yet to be secured, various board members have stated an interest in building the planetarium across the street from Austin's popular Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and the Blanton Museum of Art. The site in question is currently occupied by a state-owned parking lot.〔http://downtownaustinblog.org/2010/02/03/will-the-austin-planetariums-stars-shine-over-downtown-austin/〕 Other sites have reportedly also been considered. In 2009, architecture firm Davis Architects submitted four conceptual designs for the facility as a means of aiding the nonprofit planetarium with its capital campaign.〔http://www.thedavisexperience.com/spotlight/austinplanetarium.html〕 These concepts appear to use the corner site at the intersection of MLK Boulevard and Congress Avenue as a basis for the designs.
