Planetarium show informs with simplicity
S . .
By JO ELLEN MEEKINS
SUff Writer
Zeiss VI explains how the seasons change and how day
becomes night. He also gives a seemingly live view of the stars
and planets.
Zeiss VI is the large projector in the center of the Morehead
Planetarium that narrates the planetarium's current show,
Skyways. Skyways provides interesting information about the
solar system with explanations and demonstrations that are easy
to understand.
The opening credits of the show list "Professor Boring" as
the narrator. Zeiss VI, however, saves the audience by taking
over the show and narrating in a less boring manner at least
for children. Adults might Find the repetitive explanations and
jokes to be beneath their intelligence.
Although the show seems geared toward a child audience,
Skyways teaches many facts adults might not know, such .as the
location of certain constellations and some ancient beliefs about
the solar system. When Zeiss VI uses a new or difficult term, his
assistant, Lola, defines it with easy-to-understand words.

Sometimes, however,
A demonstration of apparent motion is one example of this.
Zeiss VI projects a slide of children sitting around a campfire
onto the planetarium dome. He explains that as one of the
children walks around the fire inside the circle, the fire itself ap
pears to move directly in front of one child at a time.
Zeiss VI compares this illusion to ancient beliefs that the sun
moved around the earth. For an adult audience, the previous ex
amples of apparent motion are sufficient. The added example
assumes that the audience cannot understand a simple technical
definition and therefore needs a more juvenile explanation.
James G. Manning, assistant director of the Morehead
Planetarium, wrote Skyways. The show's production is a group
effort by the planetarium staff. Skyways plays through March
26.
Skyways is not the only show the planetarium offers. Every
Friday night at 7, full-time staff members with degrees in
astronomy give a live show, Sky Rambles. The show features a
representation of the actual sky on that night and points out
which constellations can be observed. y
