ASTR 320 - Planetarium Science

A planetarium can be a relatively inexpensive tool for instructional, entertainment and outreach activities. The ability to translate phenomena in the real sky to that on a projected sky is a blend of science, showmanship, and technical know-how. This course provides the necessary training in the use of planetaria, ranging in topics from understanding celestial cycles and creating planetarium shows to upgrading and maintaining planetarium equipment.
