They have star shows. They have a newdigistar projector. It's no better than the old digistar. We took the grandkids and I was again thoroughly disappointed in the quality of the star images. Bright stars are big blobs, Jupiter looked like a big nebula, the narator made several mistakes, i.e., did you know the Milky Way has 300 "trillion" stars in it. The operators struggled through the program. Purists will be disapointed. Sig On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 8:15 AM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
Does anyone know if the planetarium has actual "star shows", like Hansen used to have? Constellation identification, graphic demonstrations of planetary movement, seasonal changes, etc.? Like in the "good old days"?
I loved those star shows.
"And may we at Hansen Planetarium be the first to wish you 'Good Morning'." ;-)
I really couldn't see anything resembling a "star show" on the Clark website. Everything seems to be "movies".
I have to admit that I have yet to set foot in Clark. I tend to avoid downtown SLC and have only been in the city a handful of times in the last 20 years. There just never seems to be free time available during hours when places are open, anyway. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
