An Award-Winning Full-Dome Planetarium Show Produced at Weber State
University. Expanded View explores some of the most beautiful deep space
objects through the eyes of the Hubble, Spitzer, and Chandra space
telescopes. The show focuses on how scientists use these telescopes together
to enhance our scientific understanding. Produced in the Ott Planetarium
production studio by a student at Weber State University, this production
recently won the NASA Top Star and NASA Gold Star awards for best use of
Hubble Space Telescope imagery in an educational context. Only ten Gold Star
awards were given in this one-time competition in honor of Hubble's 20th
anniversary.
*23 minutes, ages 8 and up.
