Reach for the stars in the Star City.
We appreciate the arts and sciences here in Prestonsburg. The East Kentucky Science Center and Varia Planetarium serve as a hub of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education in eastern Kentucky.

East Kentucky Science Center and Varia Planetarium
Big Sandy Community and Technical College
With its huge, interactive exhibit hall, planetarium and traveling NASA exhibits, space pioneers young and old can explore galaxies beyond the Milky Way at the East Kentucky Science Center. The mind-bending 40-foot star dome plus projection system is only one of two dozen existing on planet Earth. A regular schedule of laser light shows set to popular music like Pink Floyd and The Beatles is out of this world.
