In the center is the planetarium pro- jector, which reproduces upon the dome all the stars visible to the naked eye so realis- tically that the spectators feel as if they were outdoors looking at the heavens under the clearest of conditions, It is possible to com- press days and even years into minutes and to show the sun, the moon, and the naked- eye planets and stars, all in their proper places for any instant of any year for con- turies in the past and in the future, and as viewed from any place on the earth. ‘The planetarium show lasts about one hour and is accompanied by an explanation of the most interesting aspects of astronomy.
