性福五月天 the Planetarium
The physics building, Smith Hall, opened in 1968 complete with a new planetarium. The total cost of the planetarium was estimated to be about $35,000 with the planetarium projector costing $25,000. Public shows began in the Planetarium in late 1968 or early 1969, with Physics Professor Dr. Kenneth Warren estimating that it took him 1000 hours of preparation for a show.
Our Financial Needs
We want to keep the planetarium as a resource to the community available to all that wish to enjoy it without having to charge for admission. Our students and faculty donate generous amounts of time to provide shows for everyone, However, there are financial needs to maintain and improve the planetarium.
Observatory
性福五月天 also has an observatory on the edge of campus with a 12-inch robotic Meade telescope and an 8-inch Celestron telescope. A group of dedicated students has taken on the task of bringing the observatory back online. We have completed the inglorious task of cleaning out the observatory building and evicting the current residents (mice) as well as clearing out overgrowth by the observatory. We also repaired the dome so it opens and rotates properly. We are prepared now to begin the practical training on the telescopes and its associated equipment.
