Planetarium’s last day Monday

Monday is the last day of the Montreal Planetarium in its building on lower Peel where it’s been for 45 years. A new planetarium is scheduled to open in 2013 near the Olympic stadium – someone points out in a comment to the Radio-Canada story that it’s ironic they’ve chosen to put a stargazing facility in one of the most brightly lit parts of town, but that also reminds us why we need a planetarium in the city.
