Guidelines for Audience Members Attending Shows at the Eugenides Planetarium
In 1972 and 1973, the bookUranographyand theAstronomical Planisphere with a Moving Horizonwere published for the visitors of the Eugenides Planetarium.
Since the New Digital Planetarium began operations in 2003, 36 show guides have been published to date, 18 of which are in print, while the last 17 are available only in electronic format.
These Guides are intended to provide additional information beyond what could be covered in a 40-minute presentation.
While not providing all the possible answers and information that someone might wish to obtain regarding the topics presented in each planetarium show, their content aims to contribute in a scientific way to helping visitors to the New Digital Planetarium derive greater benefits from their experience during the show.
More than 80 years have passed since astronomer Fritz Zwicky discovered the first evidence of a strange form of matter that is everywhere and yet invisible: dark matter. Since then, evidence for the existence of dark matter has multiplied, although its nature remains as "dark" as ever! From the world’s largest particle accelerator, located at CERN, to underground dark matter detectors.

It can be used anywhere in our country to see what the sky looks like on any given day and at any given time. Among other things, the celestial sphere can help in determining the celestial coordinates and calculating the rising and setting times of a star, in determining the time when a star reaches its meridian, locating a star based on its celestial coordinates, and calculating the times of sunrise and sunset on specific dates.

How was Earth formed, and how has it evolved over time? How did the mountain ranges on its surface form, as well as the deep trenches on the ocean floor? What causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions? And why are Venus and Mars so hostile to life today, unlike our own planet? Although we already know a great deal, our efforts to expand our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Solar System continue. We invite you on an exciting journey through time to discover the history of Earth.
