When was the last time your toured the Solar System? Have you ever
witnessed the explosive death of a star or journeyed inside a living
cell? You can when you visit Shawnee State University's Clark
Planetarium!
Located inside the Advanced Technology Center, the Clark Planetarium
is a large room with 66 seats under a domed projection screen. The
key piece of equipment in the planetarium is the Digistar II
Projection System. Digistar II is the
state of the art in calligraphic planetarium projection systems.
The Clark Planetarium is privileged
to be among the worlds most advanced planetariums that utilize a
Digistar II projector. Not only does this system project a realistic
view of the nighttime sky; it can also project rendered images of
buildings, spacecraft, and much more.
A
computer automation system controls all of the devices in the
planetarium making each program a multimedia experience of sight and
sound. Audience participation is requested as part of some
planetarium programs. Follow
