Become a Supernova Partner ($100,000)

Supernovas are one of the most remarkable displays of energy witnessed by humankind. These incredibly powerful bursts mark the end of a massive star’s life, releasing an enormous amount of energy into the universe. Such explosions can profoundly influence other celestial bodies and play a significant role in initiating the stellar life cycle once again.


By becoming a Supernova Partner and joining the Shiras Institute and the State of Michigan, you’ll join an exclusive group who have made a massive impact on the planetarium’s longevity.

Supernova Partner Perks:

    • You get to choose any astronomical object you want within our “Shiras Planetarium Digital Universe,” and it will be featured most prominently.

 

    • Your name and logo will be featured on our website’s page of Supernova Partners and on a plaque in the hallway of the planetarium’s entrance.

 

    • You will be recognized at our re-opening ceremony, both verbally and in print, to be held after the completion of the universe project.
