projected on the dome of the fa

by a sophisticated console at
the back of the room. The plan
etarium, which is larger than its
OMSI counterpart, can accom
modate about 115 stargazer*.
Schools, including the Uni
versity and Lane Community
College, use the facility to teach
basic and advanced astronomy.
But the planetarium's ability
to combine music with spectac
ular 360-degree views of the
night sky and three-dimension
al projections, makes it a natu
ral crowd pleaser.
"The instrument projects
about 6,000 stars onto the
dome," lilvert said. "We can
get pretty complicated, but we
can also he an entertainment fa
cility.”
Moonlighting as an entertain
ment facility, the planetarium
has experimented with a num
ber of combinations, including
Shakespearean performances
set to galactic projections and
musical revues

The musical revues are accom

The future of the public pro
gramming hinges on lotting
people know about the often
overlooking facility.
"It's just a matter of getting
Ihe public aware of where we
are and what we are doing.”
