The Henrietta Leavitt Flat Screen Space Theater
The Henrietta Leavitt Flat Screen Space Theater is named for an American
astronomer working at the Harvard Observatory in the beginning of this
century. The site is authored by Carolyn Collins Petersen, an accomplished
astronomy writer and part-time Hubble researcher. Carolyn takes viewers to
"The Planetarium Show That Never Ends," where various heavenly bodies are
displayed and described in non-scientific but informative and inspiring
ways. Next stop is the "The Space Image Gallery" where we can view
beautiful photos of star birth, Jupiter's Moons, and the Cat's Eye Nebula,
all with brief, lucid descriptions. The Flat Screen Space Theater is not
so much educational as it is inspirational for those of us who haven't
stopped recently to view the photos coming back from space, and so have
forgotten what all the fuss is about.
