Derek Demeter, Director, Emil Buehler Planetarium - Earth, Space, and Photography

When he’s not hosting sold-out shows at the Emil Buehler Perpetual Trust Planetarium at Seminole State College of Florida, you can find Planetarium Director Derek Demeter in the middle of nowhere – either setting up for the perfect shot of the night sky or sifting through the local waterways looking for fossils. Join along as we dip our toes into the fascinating world of astronomy and learn about the individual who helps make the planetarium come alive here in Orlando North, Seminole county. The planetarium will remain closed for in-person public shows for the remainder 2020, but will continue to offer weekly virtual programs and virtual star parties on Facebook LIVE.
