This quote has been enshrined in the Planetarium Museum in Big Bear Lake California, the hall of fame of classic projectors if you will.
Objects to be used in the dark .. can be of fantastic and unlikely shape and hue ..
for they aren't really there anymore when they open their portals onto infinity...
What other created 'thing' boasts these advantages? Exotic projectors, if home built or saved from the classic period, require exotic solutions .. but most products we build, we aim for sleek lines .. hide the workings, the innards if you will, where no one can see them .. stuff the wires .. compartmentalize the switches into a remote .. simple and elegant .. and true to form the modern trend in planetarium projectors is just this, simple globes that inspire no awe .. for in building or preserving the planetaria of yore, the instrument is as much part of the mystery as the projected sky .. hand in hand they walk in creating an impression never to be forgotten .. IF .. IF .. they themselves are not forgotten ..
