See the stars at The Lamar Bruni Vergara Planetarium, on the Texas A&M International University campus. Spend an afternoon or evening watching a feature film, exploring the heavens, learning about the secrets of outer space or even enjoying a show set to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." In Laredo, you won't find an attraction that's more out-of-this-world.

It's definitely a sight to see for military history buffs.
