how do you replace a beloved planetarium? by going high-tech - star projector

When it closes the 2015 gate, the Miami Space Transport Planetarium is the local classic, literally the last.
The center of the Galaxy-
Faringdome is a star projector for Spitz Model B Transit Planetarium, aspace-
Looks a bit like the age mechanism of the Inter-Galaxy dumbbell (
Or, as Radio Miami WLRN said, "two dead stars are stuck at both ends of the metal rod ". )
The Spitz projector is old.
The kind of school you can't see anymore, but when it was built in the 1960 s, it was really bleeding and it was an amazing discovery, the most famous celebrities of the time had names like Alan Sheppard and John Glenn.
Most people will only see these heroes on TV.
Probably more likely at the time)
Hear them on the radio
But Spitz's 6000 small light arrays are powered by a giant computer of three people. sized racks (
It is said to be the first computer to power the projector)
Let achachine bring the Milky Way to the public, and immerse the Miya people in the space that is actively competing with astronauts on the Florida coast for hundreds of miles.
In fact, theMiami Spitz is one of only a dozen projectors so far.
But one is in a nightclub in New York.
When the Miami Planetarium closed in 2015, it was the last one that still used to be-
ExtraOrdinary Technology.
In its declining years, Miami equipment has been aggressively tapping into the parts of its retired brothers.
Of course, all this is about branding --new 250-
The planetarium of Philip and Patricia Frost Science Museum (a just-
Open, $0. 305 billion in science halls, and the coolest field trip destinations the younger generation has never had)
There is a difficult action to follow.
"People really like that thing --
It's like a celebrity in Miami . "Jorge Perez-
Astronomers in charge of the planetarium, Gallego.
According to Perez
Gallego, Frost's solution is not the past, but one of the most advanced technologies in production
The future Planetarium on Earth.
The new venue is one of the few venues with 8 k resolution and full 3D projection, with 14 workstation servers and 6 30,000-
Lumens digital projector, "confused together, covering the entire 67-

According to Perez
Gallego, which allows the planetarium to "ship" visitors anywhere in the known universe.
He likened the Earth to a huge computer filled with an ever-updated map of the universe provided by Sky --Skan.
"If NASA releases new data, that's it," he said . "
"Recently, there have been rumors that a large planet in the solar system may well surpass Pluto.
Within a few weeks of being suggested, the Planetarium will be able to obtain data claimed by scientists.
Of course, only time can prove that they are right.
"When the planetarium shows the universe, it has the ability to render these in real time in 8 k 3D.
Peres's favorite trick
Gallego: start the show in Miami and zoom out to the International Space Station.
"I opened the 3D when I explained it, like 'Wow!
But perhaps the biggest challenge for the new planetarium is to find content that makes the most of its capabilities.
"Our setup is very rare and sometimes it is difficult to find the content to make the most of it," Perez-Gallego says.
"We only have one program, the task limit of Astroid: 8 k and 3D.
At present, there are only a few programs of these specifications.
Hopefully someone else will come soon.
The planetarium also has a 16
Channel sound system, perfect for creating the illusion that the object physically passes through the roomor that space-time-
The guests traveling are actually cheering the universe.
One of the most popular products for planetarium: laser music performance (a carry-

Artist music such as Lady Gaga, Queen and Pink Floyd is accompanied by a psychedelic combination of laser and lighting.

Gallego is exploring different ways to make it an active part of the Miami community.
"People really like this stuff and really want to see it used to some extent," he said . ".
