“We’ve brought together some of the best experts in the planetarium field, along with some of the highest technology to create an experience like no other,” John E. Kirkpatrick President and CEO of the Science Museum Oklahoma said.
It’s been over two decades of planning and two years of construction that’s now coming to fruition in the form of the Loves Planetarium at the Science Museum Oklahoma. It uses what’s called a hybrid system.
“We’ve got an LED optical projector that presents the most crisp, detailed stars that you can even use binoculars to see the deep star field, as well as eight K projectors,” Marshall said.
