Patrick Seitzer, an asso- ciate research scientist at the University, said the planetarium - located on the third floor of the build- ing - was built in the 1950's to better serve astronomy classes on campus. On Sept. 1, 2004, a new, computer- run projector replaced the manual one that was installed in 1957. Seitzer said the new sys- tem displays 7,000 stars, compared to the 1,000 that could have been geen in the manual projector. Accord- ing to the Student Astro- nomical Society's website, the projector can show other astronomical fea- tures, including the moon, planets, the Milky Way and star clusters. Throughout the week, four undergraduate astron- omy courses and one minicourse meet in the planetarium - the reason why the facility was built in the first place, Seitzer said. "It is currently used for undergraduate educa- tion to teach the night sky and how to navigate it," Seitzer said. "The plan- etarium guarantees the night sky for students in the classes." In addition to being used by the astronomy classes, the planetarium also holds open houses organized by the SAS for the general public every other Friday. LSA senior Nhein Nguy- en said he enjoyed attend- ing one of the planetarium open houses. "They give you a 15 min- utt presentation about the constellations that are available that night, and you go on the roof of Angell. Hall which has telescopes set up," Nguyen said. "I thought tbe presentation. was humorous and not technical. Anyone could go and understand it, and it was entertaining." Nguyen said he would recommend anyone to go to the planetarium. "It's one of the things that a student should do: go' to the obser- vatory of Angell Hall and the planetarium." - JENNYZHANG 1420 Maynard St. Ann'Arbsr, MI 48109-1327 www.michigasdaily.com GARY GRACA DAN NEWMN Editor in Chief Business Manager 734-647-3336 734-764-0a5e graca@michigasdaily.com emdbusisess@annait~cam CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom office hours: Su,.-Thaes.51nea..- 2a.,.
