At our general meeting Jim Sweitzer, PhD will present to us "Celebrate the Centennial of Planetariums with a Visit to the New Shanghai Astronomy Museum"The first planetarium began projecting stars at the Deutsches Museum in Munich 100 years ago. Today’s state-of-the-art planetarium is represented by China's new Shanghai Astronomy Museum. It boasts the largest planetarium in the world, encompassing 9.6 acres and serving a city of 29 million people. It has two planetarium domes and hundreds of individual exhibits housed in award-winning architecture. It features a children's observing camp and two large professional telescopes. As their main astronomy exhibition consultant for three years, I will have just returned from my first visit since the opening. Join me for a unique insider’s “tour” of this new mothership of planetariums.
