CHICAGO --
"When Adler opened in 1930, this was the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere," Mike Smail, senior director of theaters at the Adler Planetarium, said. "We had a room, with a large mechanical machine, a fairly new bit of technology at the time, a planetarium projector that was able to project thousands of stars and planets and really replicate the night sky."That technology really didn't change until about 25 years ago with the shift from analog to digital.
"About two years ago Pink Floyd reached out to the international planetarium society and said, 'Hey, we would like to make a show,' and the work developed over the last couple years and brought this 50th anniversary version of 'Dark Side of the Moon' to life!" Smail said.From the dark side of the moon to the light side of our solar system, through the Doane Observatory, and the largest publicly accessible telescope in the Chicagoland area.
