How did planetariums go from showing the movements of the Sun, Moon, and other planetary bodies with astronomical clocks to using cutting edge visualization software? In this video, learn about the evolution of these scientific tools and the latest technology being used inside our own Hayden Planetarium that lets visitors be transported to other worlds.

My first visit was to the Fels Planetarium in the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia PA in the 1950s. I remember squirming around in my seat to try to hold my head facing up (hurts my neck still today). While everyone was watching the sky, I was transfixed by the sight of the Zeiss projector in the center of the room. I wanted to see where the magic “behind the curtain “ was happening. It was some years before I understood how it worked. The Franklin Institute was a place of many wonders and one of the reasons I became a scientist.

The Franklin Institute and the Fels Planetarium was my second home growing up in Philadelphia. Went back a few years ago and was sad to see not only the Zeiss Projector gone, but no projector at all!! At least here in LA the Griffith Observatory planetarium has a new single ball projector with they only use a little bit in the shows. Most of the shows are computer projection! Just not the same.

I love that our world has people like Charles Hayden that know not only how cool something is but have an innate feeling for the spiritual and educational value, in this instance, of the planetarium. The man hoped and knew other people would feel the same way. The planetarium achieved more than Hayden could have ever hoped for including inspiring NDT as a kid, the world's most known public educator after Sagan.

Outstanding video although too short on the History Of Planetariums. The James Webb Space Telescope 🔭 will provide a bumper crop of new material & insights on Our Cosmic Journey for Planetariums Planet 🌎 wide in the near future! Having been raised in Los Angeles, California the Griffith Observatory & Planetarium 🪐 dedicated as a public resource for learning about Our Universe was a cherished field trip for all students in the Southland...It is a shame Planetariums are a relatively rare resource globally with so few people able to experience these dynamic & profound insights into Our Star System & the Cosmos...

Too short indeed. It was expanded to 8 mins from 6! It could easily be a 30-60 min doc.

Guessing the first planetarium I saw, was at the Minneapolis downtown library. The planetarium survived until it was torn down due to remodeling, or maybe the whole library was moved. There were plans to have one in the new space, but funding fell through.

I might write a story about the opening of the new Hayden Planetarium in 2000 and the Rose Center for Earth and Space.

I don't know if Neil's right about planetarium referring to an object, the suffix -arium definitely refers to a place/space

@jamesbarrett9466 4 жыл бұрын

They could have at least mentioned Walther Bauersfeld, who invented the projection planetarium (and the geodesic dome - sorry, Bucky).

@gavinguerra5660 4 жыл бұрын

Sadly he falls under the Zeiss umbrella and there was no time to mention him specifically. If we did then we'd have to explain who he is and what a geodesic dome is. Given the time constraints Zeiss necessarily became a catchall. If this was a 1 hour piece, all of this could have made it in there.
