The Hubble Space Telescope Planetarium Show

 

Attendance was surprisingly good for this evening's planetarium show on the Hubble Space Telescope. At least 50 people were there including many families with small children, even some pre-schoolers. The beginning of the show was humorous with all the questions that young children ask. The presenter, Carol, did a fine job of responding as well as moving the show along.

After the usual introduction of the night sky, the position of the sun, lineup of planets (she had a great line about looking in the sky for planets and then looking down at your feet you can see another planet-Earth!).

The show mostly consisted of colorful images taken by the telescope. Carol admitted that she had a difficult time trying to weed down the number of images since so many were spectacular. After a while it was a bit tedious. I would've liked to learn more about the history of the mission and its objective at present. Mention was made about an early problem with the lens.
