It has been something of a struggle over the years for the people of the Minnesota Planetarium Society. They've been trying to get a planetarium in Minneapolis for some time now, but for a number of reasons (not their fault) this has proved too difficult. Now there is good news.
A planetarium is cool. Kids and adults alike are exposed to the vastness and intricacy of the Universe. A planetarium and the educational programs that go along with it can be a pillar of science education in a community. All the cool metropolitan areas have one.
I'm so used to seeing nothing but bad news, it's surprising to see a community actually making a substantial investment in its educational infrastructure.
Adler Planetarium is getting a new projector.
Thanks so much for the images. I've been greatly improving my collection of desktop backgrounds.
I like to collect interesting ones and change them periodically.
