In 11 short months Mat- thew Kent, president and CEO of Meteor Crater Enterprises, transformed Planet Science from an idea in his head into a brick-and-mortar reality with its doors open to the community

Planet Science recently opened in May 2023 and is aimed at anyone who has an interest in science Located on North Leroux Street across from Heritage Square this store brings science to the center of the Flagstaff community

Although Planet Science is backed and supported by Meteor Crater Enterprises, the store carries items entirely different from what customers might find at the Meteor Crater Gift Shop

The love for science has remained a constant presence in Flagstaff through its rich traditions and history for the last 100 years Kent said when he first discovered the Flagstaff science community he immediately saw the buzz around Lowell Observatory and Meteor Crater

“I think woven into us is the natural curiosity and adventure that science brings to us,” Kent said “We wanna recapture that and we want to reconnect with that and we want to give everybody the opportunity to find that inner junior scientist in them ”

While the store does carry memorabilia for generations who have a sentimental attachment to the era of the Apollo and Artemis missions, Kent explained they have an area that caters to their younger audience as well

“We call it our junior scientist area, and it’s got low tables And we encourage kids to color these coloring pages, Kent said We ve got puzzles and toys and dinosaurs and stuff They can just hang out there while their parents look at other stuff in the store

This area also contains flatscreen TVs, which were installed with the intent of the store be- ing able to stream events such as eclipses and SpaceX launches and be a general meeting place for people to gather and watch these events Kent also said there are hopes of hosting presentations and guest lectures

There is great potential for this space to be a beneficial addition to the downtown atmosphere especially when paired with Kent’s ideas, which allow the junior area to be a utilitarian space
