| isu planetarium: 100 Years of Planetaria Matthew McMahon, Pedro M. P. Raposo, Mike Smail, Katherine Boyce-Jacino, 2025-01-30 This book marks the centenary of the remarkable invention of an opto-mechanical planetarium projector, the Zeiss Mk I. In May 1925, the first public planetarium opened at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. In the ensuing decades, this invention spread all over the world, becoming an integral part of modern life. The book presents a global narrative of the modern planetarium and its history through a selection of 100 objects and their stories. Written by a varied international group of contributors including planetarium professionals, scientists, historians, and other experts, these object stories highlight major developments in planetaria as they relate to advances in astronomy and space science as well as changes in society and culture at large. The objects featured in this book show how planetaria gained a central place in modern life at the intersection between science, education, art, and entertainment. They also connect the reader with the diverse people whohave made the modern planetarium a reality and continue to pave the way for its future - be they planetarium staff, scientists, architects, artists, engineers, educators, or planetarium visitors. |

| isu planetarium: Exploring Ethnography of Outer Space Jenia Gorbanenko, David (Jeeva) Jeevendrampillai, Adryon Kozel, 2025-01-31 This book explores new methods and perspectives in the anthropology of outer space. For the past ten years, scholarship of outer space has grown significantly in the social sciences. Now, an international community of anthropologists is starting to produce significant contributions to this work. This is pushing the conversations around the future of humanity, technology, and outer space beyond the realm of speculative theory into concrete challenges to established norms within anthropology. Each chapter in this volume introduces a unique take on what constitutes an ethnographic field in anthropology. They signal a re-imagination of the central concept for the discipline and offer a timely meditation on the shift in anthropology’s understanding of fieldwork from its inception until now. The volume consists of eleven ethnographic chapters, plus an introduction by the editors, and two invited responses. Each of the main body chapters presents a distinct approach to situating outer space empirically on Earth. By bringing together emerging and established scholars, this book ultimately posits that an anthropological approach to outer space requires creative approaches to ethnography that are no longer exclusively premised on a co-presence with the people under study. A primer of innovative ethnographies and an ideal companion to courses on methods, this volume will provide students with a body of accessible, contemporary work on futurisms and outer space. In addition, this book will serve as a snapshot of a moment in ethnographically innovative anthropology that will be relevant to a wider academic audience through its exegesis of new methods for the study of distributed communities.

| isu planetarium: Innovative Design, Manufacturing and Testing of Small Satellites Scott Madry, Peter Martinez, Rene Laufer, 2018-05-12 This book details key trends involving the recent formation of scores of companies that build and launch small satellites or provide key components for small satellite constellations. The applications and usage are quite diverse and include student experiments, serious scientific experimentation, and totally new types of commercial constellations, particularly in telecommunications and remote sensing. The explosive growth in the design, manufacturing, and launch of small satellites is one of the most dynamic aspects in the area of space exploration and exploitation today. New commercial space companies such as Planet Labs, Sky Box, OneWeb, and LeoSat are now building and launching thousands of small satellites and cubesats into orbit. Small companies and big aerospace companies alike are getting into this exciting and interesting new business. This is a practical guide that provides advice to students, researchers, LEO satellite companies, and regulators wrestling with some of the new challenges that small satellites present as more and more companies and countries around the world enter the new small satellite arena. |

| isu planetarium: The Unexpected Perspective Carl W. Treleaven, 2016-06-28 Many Christians continue to be skeptical about Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution by natural selection. But imagine there were reasons that Christians would want to embrace Darwin in a “bear hug”, and Darwinism become Christianity’s “new best friend”? This seemingly preposterous idea is the heart of this book. The author identifies five key reasons why Christians ought to love Darwin – what he said, and the implications of his ideas. The author demonstrates why BOTH the Bible and conventional modern science can be correct at the same time; how BOTH reinforce fundamental Christian doctrine; and the surprising implications for Christians and non-Christians alike. TWENTY CHILDREN WILL BE VACCINATED AGAINST POLIO BECAUSE OF YOUR PURCHASE OF THIS BOOK. For each book sold, the author will contribute $4 to the Rotary Foundation, to be matched with an $8 contribution from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Just 60 cents covers the cost of a vaccination for one child. Learn more about how Rotary and its partners are completing the job of eradicating polio worldwide at endpolio.org. |
