"Overhead projector"

[ciphergoth]

This is a Zeiss STARMASTER ZMP star projector - $3M of the most advanced star projector in the world. It reproduces the positions, colours and magnitudes of stars with stunning, unprecedented fidelity, and is so precise that it can project deep sky object images which are only visible with binoculars (yes, binoculars inside the planetarium).



This is an overhead projector.

It seems John McCain can't tell the difference.

I miss the London Planetarium (the Tussauds one that is, not the other one in Greenwich), it being there seemed to say that science is still cool and something folk'll pay money to see.

Except they didn't, well, not in enough numbers to make keeping their projector going viable. I know I didn't, not since I was six when it helped inspire my own love of science.

Darn it. Can we have Obama if the US foolishly decides not to have him?
