The Roy L. and Clara Belle Wiley Planetarium is located in Walters Hall on the Delta State University campus in Cleveland, MS. It was founded in 1976 and is named for Mr. Roy Lee Wiley and his wife Clara Belle. The Planetarium is used for university Astronomy classes and also presents special programs for schools (see please Public Outreach → School Shows) and the general public (see please Public Outreach → Public Shows).

Mr. Wiley taught physics at Delta State from 1942 to 1975. He was known as a challenging teacher whose keen mind set a rapid pace for his students as he expertly and nimbly explained the intricacies of complex problems. Mr. Wiley celebrated his 101st birthday in 2008. See please DSU Planetarium Public Outreach → Special Events.
