/ I I • <1 » I# © > 6 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1964 WHERE WE ARE IN SPACE New ‘Earth In Universe’ Program At Planetarium Is ‘Sometimes Startling’ Because the continued motions of the Earth, the stars, the plan ets, and the moon are relatively imperceptible, and because dis tances in space appear to be all the same from the Earth’s sur face, the heavens seem to consist of dots of light plastered on the surface of a bubble, at the center of which is the Earth. The Sun, a mere 93 million miles away, appears as the biggest thing in the sky, but the Sun is tiny com pared to some stars, though these larger bodies are very distant and their direct influence on man is negligible. At the same time, the Earth’s three motions (rotation, revolu tion, and precession, or wobbling on its axis) are highly deceptive. They make some changes and movements in space seem com pletely different from what they really are. The Zeiss instrument, a highly complex precision machine, the mechanics of which ^u•e incom prehensible to the average mind, can and does demonstrate in “The Earth in the Universe’’ the difference between what seems to happen in space, and what ac tually does happen. Among the Zeiss instrument’s most bewildering characteristics is an abilitv to show the sky as it will look from North Carolina 13,000 years from now: the Big Dipper lurched far to the north west, the star Vega where the North Star is now, and the Milky Way occupying an eerily unfa miliar position in the night sky. “The Earth in the Universe” is presented daily for the public at 8:30 pm; Saturdays at 11 am, 1, 3, 4 and 8:30 pm (11 am, 5 and 8:30 pm on UNC home football days); and Sundays at 2, 3, 4 and 8:30 pm. Special performances for school groups are given at 11, 1 and 4 on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, by advance reservation. THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina “The Earth in the Universe,” a sometimes startling concept of where the Earth is in space, opened last week at the More- head Planetarium in Chapel Hill and will continue through November 23. The program is designed both to show viewers the location of the Earth in relation to all the other bodies in its pinwheel shaped galaxy, and also to dem onstrate the varied, occasionally weird capabilities of the Plane tarium’s Zeiss instrument.
