Star Planetarium Use

Use the planetarium to Find the star
or constellation on the star sphere
speci ed in the activity

OPERATION

1. Place planetarium on a table in the center of the room. A room with smooth,
light-colored walls and ceiling works best. A room that is roughly square and
no larger than 12 x 12 feet provides the best projection quality. Star Theater
works best when it is located two to six feet from the projection surface.
2. Date selector is located on the light wand. Rotate light wand until
"AUTUMN" lines up with pointer on the base. (The month and date settings
and the time ring will be used after the audio tour to set your planetarium
for a speci c date and time of day.)
CAUTION: Do not look directly into the light source.

THE VE APP IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE
Before using your Virtual Explorer, you will
need to download the free app onto your
smartphone. Search "Virtual Explorer".
Setting the date: With projection lamp o , turn light wand
until the month you want lines up with the pointer on date
selector. Below the month, there are markings indicating
the 1st, 10th and 20th of the month. Turn light wand to the
left until the date you want lines up with the pointer. For
example, if you want to project the night sky the way it is
on July 4th, rst select July, then turn further to the left, to
just past the mark for the rst day of the month.
Setting the time: Once you have selected the month and
date, rotate the time ring— without turning the light
wand—so that the time at which the sun sets lines up with
the pointer. (The time at sunset can be found in the local
newspaper or on the Internet.) Now turn the light wand to
the exact time you want. (Note: The months and dates will
change on the date selector as you select the time; once
you've selected the date and set the time ring for sunset,
the time selection function takes over.) You can set your
planetarium to project the stars for any time of the night.
You can even see what stars are up during the day, when
they are not visible.

THE MOVING SKY
The horizon ring is an important part
Time Ring
of your planetarium. It divides the sky
into two halves, the visible and the
Date
Selector nonvisible. In the course of 24 hours,
all of the objects visible from a given
location on Earth seem to rise in the
east and set in the west.
Your planetarium projects stars that
are visible from the northern
hemisphere. To see all the stars that
are visible from the northern
hemisphere, slowly rotate the light
wand to the left (westward) while the
projection lamp is on. Do you notice
that some stars around Polaris never
set while some of the stars that can
be seen from the southern
hemisphere (at the opposite pole of
the Star Sphere from Polaris) never
rise in the northern hemisphere?
