Athena Zeiss Daughter of Zeus

(In Greek Mythology Athena is the Virgin Goddess of Wisdom, Courage, Inspiration, Mathematics, and the Arts)

I purchased a Zeiss ZKP-3B Planetarium Projector which we named "Athena" to add to the Museum Collection!
The Zeiss Skymaster ZKP-3B shows everything in the sky one might see on a clear night under perfect viewing conditions. It projects over 7,000 individual stars in addition to star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, the Milky Way, the Sun and the Moon, in addition to the 5 visible planets. It also projects line drawings that outline the major constellations. The computer controlled projector also functions a lot like a time machine by recreating our night sky at any location on Earth for any moment in history, either in the past or the future. This projector came to us from the Dreyfuss Planetarium located in the Newark Museum, Newark New Jersey, and we were able to obtain a second Zeiss projector from the P-Tech Academy in Paterson NJ.

Pictured here with me is Kevin Conod, Director of the Dreyfuss Planetarium at the Newark NJ Museum.
