		Planetarium improvements include the “state-of-the-art aluminum dome that envelops the audience and provides the ultimate screen for cosmic projections,” according to promotional material, along with new video projection and lighting and sound systems.

		In addition to the literal flexibility of the dome, which is composed of 286 panels of transparent aluminum, the drastic makeover given to the planetarium theater allows the museum to use the space creatively.

		The history of the Model A planetarium stretches back to the late 1930s, when Armand decided he should be able to give star shows in his home to entertain his young daughter Verne.
		At the Fels Planetarium, Armand had seen the awe children, and adults, had for the planetarium sky and its stories.

		Lately, however, planetariums are rocketing into the digital age, and the Fels is leading the way.
		For those who remember when a radical planetarium special effect was a single shooting star and the major challenge for audience members was staying awake, the new versatility is a revelation.
		For most of its 72 years, the Fels generated its images with a star projector, the distinctive barbell-shaped apparatus in the center of the floor that shoots light through pinprick holes.

		The 0.040-inch-thick panels on the Fels dome exhibit a 23 percent void ratio—determined by balancing the acoustic transmission needs against the material necessary to reflect sufficient light back to the audience.
		The planetarium instead relies on a low gain dome to ensure that every audience member sees the show he paid for.
		Unlike refrigerators, where the consistency of the powder-coated finish doesn't matter much from one appliance to the next, color uniformity among the dome panels is critical in enhancing the planetarium-goers' enjoyment, Wright said.

		The alignment of the stars and planets has an even greater impact on Derrick Pitts' life than it does on most people's – as the chief astronomer of the Fels Planetarium, it's the subject of his daily work.
		He had an extraordinarily busy summer of 2003, for example, giving interviews to the news media and making presentations about the proximity of Mars to the Earth.
		The first African-American to be chief astronomer for the Franklin Institute, Pitts has placed a priority on increasing opportunities for children to expand their interest in science, through educational programming offered at the museum and planetarium.

		As we told you last week, this Saturday we are proud to be presenting, for one night only, a really special show featuring Philly’s own Espers and Adam Arcuragi, along with Vermont freak-folk tribe Feathers as the meat in the middle of this awesome sandwich.
		Not least among the bullet points of this show is the fact that it’s being held in The Fels Planetarium in The Franklin Institute, and the bands will play directly under some truly spectral displays of the stars.
		Based on the nature of the response we’ve already been getting, and the relatively small capacity of the Fels, we strongly advise folks to buy tickets now, as it seems that the show will most definitely sell out.
