Mueller Planetarium's new hardware
opens another world of visual trips
By Greg Tally
Tumbling asteriods, gas clouds and lunar landscapes are
effects made possible by new equipment in UNL's Mueller
Planetarium.
Those new moving images should make planetarium
programs more interesting to audiences, coordinator Jack
Dunn said, because today's audiences are becoming more
visually oriented. ,
"Audiences are becoming watchers more than
listeners,' Dunn said, and seeing moving images will be
more visually stimulating than just listening to lectures
about planets and constellations."
The new equipment was purchased and constructed
during the past few weeks.
The Horizon Panorama System, costing between $600
and S700, Dunn said, will show such things as lunar and
planetary landscapes.
The rotating and moving images shown on the plane
tarium dome are projected through new slides treated
with a polarized substance, Dunn explained. The slides
are used with eight new projectors. He said four more
projectors will be bought later.
Another addition to the planetarium will be a land
scape panorama, replacing th? Lincoln skyline that has
been the dome's horizon for many years.
- A UFO program in January and a show in April based
on astrological references in the works of Shakespeare
are programs scheduled to use the new effects, Dunn said.
The younger audiences are interested in visual effects,
so the new programs should be particularly appealing to
them, Dunn said.
01der audiences go for the more traditional type cf
program where you point out planets, stars and so on,"
Dunn said. "A good planetarium program will be a
combination of both interests."
. Mueller Planetarium was built with funds from UNL
alumnus Ralph Mueller. It opened in 1953.
Although the planetarium is financed by UNL,' it
"makes enough money to pay for its own existence,
Dunn said. Expensive special projects, like the 1970
purchase of ' the Spitz A4-RPY star projector, are
sometimes financed by the Mueller fund, he said.
