I remember Neil DeGrasse Tyson saying that he initially learned about the 
stars through the local planetarium where he grew up in New York City, 
and after a few years of having only seen them at the planetarium, he 
went on a stargazing trip with his class to a rural part of PA, and was 
amazed to see that it looked "just like the planetarium".
