New $2 Million Projector Creates Dazzling Display At Boston Museum

Boston's Museum of Science recently spent $9 million upgrading the Charles Hayden planetarium but the most expensive piece of that renovation is not one of the exhibits it's the $2 million Zeiss Starmaster Projector. The projector brings the universe to life on a 57-foot aluminum dome using lights and fiber optics. Two Sony high-resolution digital projectors contribute to the richness of the display. The Zeiss Starmaster is one of only two in the United States (15 worldwide) and the only one on the East Coast. The Boston Globe reports that the resolution is so good that you can actually use binoculars.
