The money will be used to buy equipment for the new facility to be built next year. ``It guarantees that we can go ahead with the center because now we have the money for the equipment and construction,'' said John A.

Local businessmen Larry and Ralph Cimmarusti donated $1 million in March. A $1 million endowment is also being established to cover ongoing costs of the science center. Students from kindergarten through college will be able to use the center, which will be connected with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory mission control facilities. It will also include astronomy, physics, oceanography oceanography, study of the seas and oceans. The major divisions of oceanography include the geological study of the ocean floor (see plate tectonics) and features; physical oceanography, which is concerned with the physical attributes of the ocean water, such as and seismographic seis·mo·graph n.
