ISM A14 Planetarium

In the southwest corner of Spaceport Alpha, the Planetarium, created by Chaac Amarula, features a rotating view of the constellations as seen from different latitudes. Once you're inside the building, click on the floor to start the show, and open your Chat

History to listen to the narration. During the show, the shell of the Planetarium

becomes transparent from the outside; however, the show is best viewed in mouselook.

 

Just outside the Planetarium is a model of a Meade telescope (also created by Chaac

Amarula), that mimics the Milton Bradley(tm) electronic game "Simon" to teach users the procedure of pointing a telescope towards a location in the sky.
