Planetarian enters the digital age |
The June 2013 Planetarian is now in the mail—and, for the first time, online.
Starting with this issue, Planetarian will be released in print and online at the same time.
Digital issues from Vol 39 No 1 (March 2010) through the current issue are now available on issuu. Older issues can still be found in pdf format on the Planetarian Archive page.
Digital issues on issuu are open to the public, but the current issue will be visible only through the link on the Planetarian page. Membership in issuu is not required.

| Losing the Dark
A free new resource for planetariums everywhere: Losing the Dark, a short public service announcement from the International Dark-Sky Association and Loch Ness Productions that clearly and engagingly illustrates how our world is being drowned in light pollution.
The program may be downloaded for free in a variety of formats and languages. Originally released in English, versions are now available in German, Hindi, Korean, and Spanish, with more languages soon to come.
Losing the Dark also is available as a flatscreen video, and can be found on YouTube for online viewing, sharing, and embedding. It can be downloaded for use in classrooms, kiosks, museum theaters, and other multimedia presentations.
More information and downloading instructions can be found at Loch Ness Productions.
IPS provided seed money to start the project. Other generous supporters were Starmap, the Fred Maytag Family Foundation, members of the IDA, and the National Optical Astronomy Observatory. |
