BOZEMAN - After months of waiting, eager space fans filed into the newly opened Taylor Planetarium at the Museum of the Rockies Friday.

While the hourly shows were for members only, the planetarium will be screening shows for the general public Saturday.

Attendee Kristin Long, who brought her sons Reagan and Andrew to see the show on Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, likes what she saw.

"Very much so," says Kristin. "We'll come as often as we can."

Planetarium Director Eric Loberg says the new set-up, is a wild ride.

"You can say 'planets,' and we'll fly out to the planets, you can say different stars, and we'll fly out there, we can fly around the constellations."
