 Over the next fifty years the Planetarium continued to thrive, but toward the end of the century was outgrowing its 1930's shell. A massive $20 million grant from Mr. and Mrs. Frederick P. Rose allowed a spectacular new astronomy and space center to be built around the original planetarium. The Hayden -- now completely refurbished and equipped with a state-of-the-art Zeiss star projector -- survives inside the transparent glass shell of [[Image:Hayden3.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Interior of the Planetarium, showing the new Zeiss Mk IX star projector]]the Rose Center for Earth and Space, a structure now widely hailed as an architectural masterpiece.
