It is the gift of Max Adler of Chicago to the city to pop-; ularize and dramatize astronomyj so the layman may get a new vision! of the heavens. Within is the great dome anda the planetarium itself, a mechan- ical instrument which produces aE photographic picture of the sola: system. Spectators are to be seated all around it in tiers and the Zeiss projector occupies a central posi- tion on the floor. As the instrument which pro- jects the heavens is thrown into operation the white dome pales and vanishes into a light-blue can- opy. The sun, moon and planets burst forth in the skies. The stars ascend from the east and disap-j pear in the west. Planets May Be Accelerated The motions of the heavenlyI bodies can be speeded up at will. Thus a "day" in the universe, which is determined by the proces- sion of the equinoxes and which lasts 26,000 years in reality, can be reduced to ten minutes or one., Similarly our earthly day of twen- ty-four hours becomes one of a few minutes, if necessary, with planets moving in their orbits at a sensa- tional speed. It will be possible to show any star as it appeared in the past or as it will appear in the future, and from any given part of the earth. Thus visitors to the Chicago plane- tarium will observe how the stars appeared to explorers at the North and South Poles and how they ap- peared in the time of David. An illusion of a marvelous sky on an ideal night is obtained, because in nearly total darkness the eye is especially sensitive to the blue rays of the projection lamps.

The spectators, without any explanation, see for themselves how the stars travel' daily in their courses and how, in the course of 26,000 years, the earth's axis performs a slow tum- bling motion. ,The demonstrator also can make the stars move in ways never con- templated by nature. For instance, it is easily possible to show how the stars would move if the earth stop- ped spinning on its axis or if the procession of the equinoxes occur- red in a single years.
