Big Dipper

know what the fuck would I know what to look for in the North Star.

Big Dipper?

Babe...

If I were to look at the stars at nighttime and you think that I'm going to make a shape out of that shit, you got me fucked up.

But there's also satellites up there that

can be confusing.

Have you ever seen the Big Dipper?

Absolutely not.

This is the 17,000-year-old swastika.

But what is swastika? You take Polaris, the northern star, and you rotate the Big Dipper on it during the solstices in the equinox.

Yep.

Yep.

Yep.

Yep.

It creates a bear.

In the sky with the stars from the perspective of this planet Earth, what I forget about is that part of it, I guess, yeah, part of it is the Big Dipper, which I think maybe some people call the Great Dipper.

I wouldn't be surprised because that dipper is great.

Yeah, it looks like it's a butt and tail.

The Big Dipper is the butt and tail of Ursa Major, which is also called Great Bear.

Oh, that bear is so great.

Stealing people's picnics.

Constellations I grew up with.

Big Dipper, North Star over there.

Indicate a couple of the constellations that I know.

Sometimes, get to see the Northern Lights.

is going on whenever catches their mind, for example.

People come to the planetarium if they want to know where to find the Big Dipper, for example.

Of course, that is not the normal situation.

I believe most people who visit the planetarium do so just because it's a convenient entertainment venue on par with maybe a cinema or a theater or, well, of course, it's not entertainment, but also arts, but anyway.

That basically went in the first year, went into producing a new show, which really took the Fulham experience, which I already had, back to the world of music.

slide based projections so I did a little like a big an avalanche of slides in that one show the administration complained that I spent too many money on making slides like thousands I'm not sure I guess so of them to have almost full of show I used the laser projection which was there to create full dome-like elements, to have things move as they would if they were full dome.

I really wanted to have that 3D impression of moving through, for example, a constellation in 3D, like the Sun triangle or the Big Dipper or something like that.

And so I really pushed the one person who was able to program the laser projector, which I wasn't able, to really go with me through the depths of hacking the 3D data of like 100 stars into the laser projection system and And having a laser-based fly-through through the star field in a limited way.
