Planetarium
  |
Today the
study of Astronomy is not limited only to the Astronomers and
Scientists. In our school systems, even at the elementary levels, students get exposed to the knowledge of the planets and constellations in the sky. But the knowledge is mostly limited to seeing the pictures of the stars in the books. They do not get a real feel of the sky. And most people simply can not manage or do not have east access to the Planetarium. We thought about it and built a very simple portable planetarium. Most people do not believe it is possible to make a planetarium that really works. But we did it and it works. Surely, it is not as sophisticated as the one at the Birla Planetarium, but it serves the purpose. We will bring the planetarium to your school and assemble it in just a couple of hours. You will see the stars and common constellations as they are seen in the sky at different times of the year. It is really exciting. You will really feel that you are looking the night sky and totally forget for a moment that you are sitting in your classroom. Time and again, we observed that the students get very exited and they make a plan for looking for those exotic celestial objects on a clear sky from their roof top in the future. Can you imagine how exciting it is for a young child to locate and try to match the real stars with the mental images they stored in the head when they experienced our planetarium in their schools!!! |
