Magic Planet - Sun
This week's presentation at the Kopernik Observatory & Science Center was Tour Of The Solar System by Rick Kline of the Spacecraft Planetary Imaging Facility (SPIF). It was an lecture illustrated by images sent back by spacecraft, and included interesting side notes like how the wheels on the Curiosity Rover leave Morse code tracks across the face of Mars.
The highlight of the show was the Magic Planet display, product of Global Imagination, onto which he projected maps of the planets, to the oohs and aahs of the audience. He started with the Sun, shown here, and did all the planets as they came up.
