What would you remember most about the Ride planet, and how would you describe it to your grandchildren? Set on the surface of the Moon in the year 2081, a grandfather and granddaughter watch a solar eclipse from scenic cliffs overlooking their moon colony. Conversation leads to contrasts between the moon, the only home the granddaughter knows, and the Earth, where the grandfather has spent most of his life. As they watch the Moon's shadow move across Earth, the grandfather tells stories of crashing asteroids, erupting volcanoes, roaring dinosaurs, electrifying lightning and booming thunder. Each experience begins with a telescope view of the dynamic Earth in stark contrast with the unchanging lunar landscape. Future Moon honors the Apollo astronauts who first landed on the 3 Future Moon 2-8 22 min yes Moon on July 20, 1969, and the children of today that may return to the Moon by 2020. Working with NASA's Johnson Space Center, the Planetarium staff has created a realistic voyage to the Moon narrated by Walter Cronkite. Watch the violent collision that created our Moon billions of years ago, join Apollo astronauts as they explore the lunar surface, and hop on board a trans lunar craft for a journey to your Moon base of tomorrow.

  • The Hummel Planetarium Experience
    THE HUMMEL PLANETARIUM | EXPERIENCE About us: The Arnim D. Hummel Planetarium has been nestled on the south side of Eastern Kentucky University’s campus since 1988. Since then, we have provided informal science education programs to EKU students, P-12 students, as well as the community. The main theme of our programs are seated in the fields of physics and astronomy, but recent programs have explored a myriad of STEM related topics through engaging hands on experiences. Who can visit and when? We are open to the public during select weekday afternoons and evenings (seasonal) as well as most Saturdays throughout the year. The public show schedule is pre-set, and the programs serve audiences from preschool age and up. We also welcome private reservations for groups of twenty or more Mondays through Fridays during regular business hours. Examples of groups who reserve a spot include school field trips, homeschool groups, church groups, summer camps, and many more. When booking a private reservation, your group may choose which show to watch, and request a customized star talk, if needed. What happens during a visit? Most visits to the Planetarium involve viewing a pre-recorded show which is immediately followed by a live Star Talk presentation inside of the theater. A planetarium theater is unique because the viewing area is rounded into the shape of a dome instead of a flat, two-dimensional screen. The third dimension enables you, the viewer, to become immersed in the scenes displayed on the dome. A list of the pre-recorded shows we offer is found on the next page.

  • History of Astronomy Is a History of Receding Horizons.”
    UNA Planetarium Image of the Month Newsletter Vol. 2. No. 9 Sept 15, 2010 We are planning to offer some exciting events this fall, including a return of the laser shows. Our Fall Laser Shows will feature images and music of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. The word laser is actually an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation”. We use many devices with lasers in them, from CD players to the mouse on your desk. What many people don’t know is that there are also natural lasers in space. The lasers in space often come from molecules (groups of one or more atoms sharing electrons); we call these masers. One of the more important one is the OH In 1987, astronomers observing from Chile observed a new star in the sky. This maser, formed by an oxygen and hydrogen exploding star, called a supernova, blazed away as the first supernova in several atom.

  • Sun, Moon, and Stars
    Teacher's Guide for: Sun, Moon, and Stars OBJECTIVES: To introduce the planetarium and the night sky to the young learner. To determine what things we receive from the Sun. To see that the other stars are like our Sun, but farther away. To observe why the Moon appears to change shape and "visit" the Moon to see how it is different from the Earth. To observe the Earth from space and see that it really moves, despite the fact it looks like the Sun and stars are moving. This show conforms to the following Illinois state science standards: 12.F.1a, 12.F.1b, 12.F.2a, 12.F.2b, 12.F.2c, 12.F.3a, 12.F.3b. Next Generation Science Standards: 1.ESS1.1, 5PS2.1 BRIEF SHOW DESCRIPTION: "Sun, Moon, & Stars" is a live show for the youngest stargazers. We do a lot of pretending in the show, first by seeing what the Sun might look like both up close and from far away, and then taking an imaginary adventure to the Moon. We see the changing Moon in the sky and see how the stars in the sky make strange shapes when you connect them together. The planets can be inserted at the request of the instructor. PRE-VISIT ACTIVITIES/TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION: For the young ones, just being in the planetarium is a different experience they should "prepare" for. Discuss what it's like in a movie theater with the lights low. That's how we introduce the place. The screen goes all the way around though! Discuss the importance of the Sun.

  • The Planetarium Environment by Kevin Scott the Experience of A
    The Planetarium Environment by Kevin Scott The experience of a planetarium audience and staff is greatly affected by the basic physical infrastructure of a planetarium. Attention to detail in this realm is vital to a new planetarium construction project. Electrical Power Local building codes will provide a baseline for your particular power scheme and a licensed electrical engineer will handle much of the design work. Even so, it’s probably a good idea to be involved with the design process and familiarize yourself with the electrical requirements of your theater. Your interpretation of the space and production philosophy will dictate many aspects of the electrical layout and capacity. Every planetarium will have some form of star projector, and quite often there will be other unique equipment with special electrical requirements including laser systems, lighting instruments, projector lifts, and high concentrations of audio-visual equipment. Conduits and raceways for all of these devices will have to be mapped out. A spacious electrical room will make it easy to cleanly route power and control wiring throughout the planetarium. This master control area should be centrally located, perhaps beneath the theater to avoid any noise problems from equipment fans or lighting dimmers. A raised floor is an added luxury, but can make equipment installation and maintenance a breeze. Your electrical contractor will probably provide raceways for any automation control wiring. These control signals are mostly low-voltage and will need to be housed in raceways and conduits separate from power delivery. Keep in mind that you’ll want to have easy access to your low-voltage raceways for future equipment additions and upgrades.

Montpellier, France Atwood thrilled the populace of [email protected] Chicago. This machine, built to ac- commodate a dozen spectators, took up a concept popular in the eigh- teenth century: that of turning stel- lariums. The impact was consider- able. It sparked the genesis of modern planetariums, leading 10 years lat- er to an invention by Bauersfeld, engineer of the Zeiss Company, the Deutsche Museum in Munich. Since ancient times, mankind has sought to represent the sky and the stars. Two trends emerged. First, stars and constellations were easy, especially drawn on maps or globes. This was the case, for example, in Egypt with the Zodiac of Dendera or in the Greco-Ro- man world with the statue of Atlas support- ing the sky, like that of the Farnese Atlas at the National Archaeological Museum of Na- ples. But things were more complicated when it came to include the sun, moon, planets, and their apparent motions. Ingenious mecha- nisms were developed early as the Antiky- thera mechanism, found at the bottom of the Aegean Sea in 1900 and currently an exhibi- tion until July at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in Paris. During two millennia, the human mind and ingenuity worked constantly develop- ing and combining these two approaches us- ing a variety of media: astrolabes, quadrants, armillary spheres, astronomical clocks, co- pernican orreries and celestial globes, cul- minating with the famous Coronelli globes offered to Louis XIV.

  • About the Planetarium…
    About the Planetarium… The planetarium is located at the University of South Australia Mawson Lakes and is part of the UniSA STEM Unit. It contains a Zeiss ZKP-1 star projector that simulates the starry sky on an 8 metre dome and has seating for 45. The projector provides a remarkably realistic sense of being under the real night sky. It is used to show the sky as seen from the southern hemisphere, pointing out constellations, the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds and where to look for planets. It also demonstrates the general celestial motions that cause the sky to appear different at various times of the night and year. The planetarium is also equipped with a 1.6k projection system by which our astronomy educators take the audience on a virtual guided tour of the solar system and the universe and plays our fulldome movies. We accommodate the level of information from junior primary school to adult level. While it is one of the smaller planetaria (yes that's the plural) in Australia, it has the advantage that we can interact with the audience and their questions. We find this often provides a unique and rewarding experience for the visitor. How to get the best out of the Planetarium experience… Visitors that are prepared in advance with some information about the solar system, space exploration and stars are more likely to ask questions and get value from the session. Sessions are pitched at the audience attending so that information and the experience can be easily followed. A good place to start with basic information aimed at different age levels can be found at this weblink: http://www.ucar.edu/ Monthly Southern Star maps can be downloaded for free from this weblink: http://skymaps.com be sure to select the southern hemisphere version for the current month.
