MARCH/APRIL 2016 AT THE P!NK PALACE
A Once and Future Planetarium By Dave Maness, Sharpe Planetarium Manager Shortly after I arrived in Memphis to start my job working for the City of Memphis, the Pink Palace Museum, and for all the residents and tourists who visit, there was talk about technological improvements. Through the leadership of Director of Museums Steve Pike, it soon became more than just talk. Talk led to fundraising successes that ultimately gave us the opportunity to do some real planning. A good plan starts with challenging but achievable goals and objectives. We wanted to create the most advanced, capable and state of the art science-education theater that our fine city had ever seen. We looked at the current state of the Sharpe Planetarium. The (then) current planetarium was operating with equipment installed in 1978. The Minolta Series 4 (sometimes referred to as a model 1015) projector was over 36 years old! The manufacturer had long before merged with former competitor Konica, to become Konica Minolta. Eventually, Konica Minolta ended technical support for older equipment such as our star projector. Still we limped along, getting support from Ash Enterprises and Eastern Control Systems to keep essential functions operating. Soon we noticed some problems. Strange things were happening in our simulated sky. Constellations were changing shape due to star cell migration caused by repeated heating and cooling from the hot primary star lamps. Bright “stars” appeared where fuzzy nebulas once shown. We traced this to the loss of filters that had fallen off the precision star plates and then were lost. Some bright stars vanished altogether as lamps were no longer available. Those had to be replaced by less than ideal alternatives. Replacement (filament style) lamps were becoming more expensive and harder to find. Belts slipped, gears locked up, and sometimes they even chomped on wires
that carried power to certain functions. If that weren’t enough to convince anyone a change was needed, the sound system buzzed, the houselights projected pink instead of blue skies, and the noise of over 70 projectors in their choreographed reset dance after every show was deafening. “The writing was on the wall.” We needed to upgrade! As much as we still loved that iconic old star projector which resembled a mechanical insect standing in the center of the room, newer digital systems have none of its problems. Except for a fan, there are no moving parts. The new systems use as few as one lamp! And since they project an image based on a 3 dimensional database, they are far more accurate. To top it off,they are immeasurably more flexible. The old projector limited our point of view to Planet Earth. As rocket technology matures and improves, we humans begin to see ourselves as residents of the solar system and beyond. Digital projectors permit us to visualize our dreams of space travel. With such a system we can now inspire students and others by simulating journeys from our home planet to virtually anywhere in the known universe. The largest city in the State of Tennessee certainly deserves as much. And so, a few years ago with the cooperation of the City of Memphis, Memphis Museums, Inc., and our generous donor AutoZone, we set the ball rolling with the hiring of the Memphis architectural firm of Askew, Nixon, Ferguson. After many meetings and much research, careful plans were drawn up. The physical work on the project began September 15, 2014. After 16 months of work (including time to recover from an unfortunate fire), we have built something special. We have a new dome with the largest projection surface in Western Tennessee, new seating for 145, new colorful and customizable LED houselights, a new digital Konica Minolta Super Media Globe 2 projector, and a new Cinema Standard sound system. We hope you are as proud of the results as we are.
Welcome to the AutoZone Dome at the Sharpe Planetarium!

CTI 3D GIANT THEATER
National Parks Adventure 3D Opens March 5, 2016 Narrated by Academy Award® winner Robert Redford, National Parks Adventure 3D will take you on the ultimate off-trail adventure into the nation’s awe-inspiring great outdoors and untamed wilderness. Soar over red rock canyons, hurtle up craggy mountain peaks and into other-worldly realms found within America’s most legendary outdoor playgrounds, including Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Yosemite, and Arches. Fun Facts: • Cadillac Mountain in Acadia is the tallest point along the east coast of the US and at times is the first place to see sunrise. • The Everglades is the only place on Earth where alligators and crocodiles co-exist! • Many fossils are found the in Grand Canyon, but none are dinosaurs. Why? The rocks are older than the oldest dinosaur! • Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore surrounds Lake Superior, the coldest and deepest of all of the Great Lakes and the largest freshwater lake in the world! • In Yellowstone, thermal pools and limestone deposits get their color from thermophiles, or heat loving organisms! Thermophiles produce many of the colors, textures, and smells you experience in Yellowstone National Park. • Mariposa Grove in Yosemite National Park is filled with Giant Sequoia Trees that can reach up to 280 feet tall and can live to be 3,500 years old! These giant sequoias inspired poet John Muir and President Teddy Roosevelt to protect Yosemite Valley. Locally sponsored by:

CTI 3D Giant Theater open MON-SUN The CTI 3D Giant Theater is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. At present, we have a total of 27 assistive listening devices. Nine of these devices (Captiview) provide closed captions. We also have 18 devices that enhance the volume for those visitors with hearing issues and those devices are also designed to provide a descriptive narrative of on screen actions on an additional audio channel. At the present, not all of the documentary movies we have shown in the theater have been digitally encoded by the documentary movie distributor with the necessary codes for the Captiview closed caption device and the DoReMi descriptive narrative capabilities. We have been informed that in the near future more documentary movies are being encoded with closed caption viewer Captiview and the DoReMi descriptive narrative features. The theater provides hearing impaired customers with a copy of the movie’s script with a red flashlight, for low light level reading. Customers in need of these devices should call our reservations number, (901)636-2362, so that we can make appropriate accommodations to serve their needs.

DIRECTOR'S DISPATCH Color Me Embarrassed … and very Proud! I try not to use clichés, but as I read the contents of this issue that phrase, “an embarrassment of riches,” leapt to mind. There is amazing new technology lighting up our AutoZone Dome at the Sharpe Planetarium with shows like Firefall and Astronaut. We have Robert Redford narrating our big screen feature, National Parks Adventure 3D. We have other educational movies such as Journey to Space 3D along with Hollywood favorites Toy Story 1, 2, and 3 and the Wizard of Oz … a world class exhibit, Nature Unleashed; another great exhibit showing off the African-American artifacts we have acquired through a generous grant from the Assisi Foundation of Memphis, Inc.; the Volunteer Plant Sale at Lichterman Nature Center, April 15 and 16; and our annual Members Day at Coon Creek, April 30. There is a restaurant in town I really like, but seldom go to. The menu has too many choices. It’s an embarrassment of riches, and I can’t decide what to order. Please don’t let that sort of thing keep you away from all our museum family has to offer. And remember, Spring Break is here. You’ll be looking for fun things to entertain kids and grandkids, and we have … well, you know the cliché.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Putting the Park in National Parks Yellowstone, Glacier, Carlsbad Caverns, Redwood, Death Valley, The Badlands. These are just a few of our national parks, and their names alone speak to their awesomeness! Have you ever been to a national park? Closer to home, we have Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, Hot Springs in Arkansas, and of course, the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. What wonderful vacation destinations! In our new Giant Theater documentary, National Parks Adventure 3D, Robert Redford leads us on a 40-minute “vacation” to nature’s most beautiful locations – stunning, jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring locations. Perhaps you’ve been to some; perhaps you intend to go someday. But until then, come sit in our comfortable theater seats, gnosh on popcorn and slurp a soft drink, and let us take you on a whirl-wind adventure!
There is one thing we ask of you. Don’t go alone. Help the Pink Palace Museum send hundreds of school children on this adventure with you. Your gift of $13 today will ensure that one child from a Title I local school will receive a heavily discounted ticket to step outside of their urban concrete environment and see the best nature has to offer. You can also designate your gift to support students on a field trip to Lichterman Nature Center, our own awesome place. By designating your gift of $26 to Lichterman Nature Center, you ensure that two children are introduced to the joys of nature in a safe, secure, educational environment. The Pink Palace Museum is putting the Park in National Parks – on the Giant Screen and at Lichterman Nature Center. Please send a gift today to put a child in these “Parks.”
