DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Martin George (International Planetarium Society)\nI
 t is now 101 years since planetariums became key tools in entertaining and
  educating people of all ages about the wonderful sights of the night sky.
 \n\nPlanetariums are now in use in very many countries\; they inspire peop
 le of all ages to show an interest in not only astronomy\, but science in 
 general. The International Planetarium Society (IPS)\, the world’s major
  professional planetarium organisation\, has members from around 50 countr
 ies and holds a major conference every two years to discuss techniques and
  equipment. The speaker will discuss the history of planetariums\, includi
 ng the technology used. This has been changing\, the significant differenc
 e being the use of digital projection techniques. However\, it is the staf
 f in planetariums that are the key to engaging with the public: a planetar
 ium is not the same as a movie theatre\, and offers a quite different expe
 rience. In the most successful planetariums\, the enthusiasm of profession
 al staff is infectious.\n\nhttps://indico.narit.or.th/event/238/contributi
