The Copernic...Thanks for remembering our birthday!<br /><br />The Copernican orrery is gone. Its mechanical workings completed their final orbit about 10 years ago. The orrery room now houses the "Zoom In" exhibit.<br /><br />Our Zeiss Model VI star projector is still in the planetarium (and in use for some school field trip shows), but Morehead now uses a fulldome digital video projection system that is amazing.<br /><br />We're still learning some new tricks at age 61!Morehead Planetarium and Science Centerhttp://www.moreheadplanetarium.orgnoreply@blogger.com
