Pro-Human Transhuman – TV Tropes

Posted on October 5, 2015 by Danzig

This character has been hit with a Viral Transformation, Emergency Transformation, become a cyborg, demon, magical creature, alien or discovers they were never human at all. Despite this, and regardless of any angst over What Have I Become?, they decide that rather than go down the path of Transhuman Treachery and be a Smug Super, Black Shirt, or The Quisling, they will do everything in their power to stay a part of humanity. And if their new species/transhuman fellows are anti-human, they will vow to protect humanity in a pseudo Faustian Rebellion. This can also include transhumans who cast themselves in a shepherd-like role for mankind. This doesn't include forcibly applying What Measure Is a Non-Super? to bootstrap humanity up, though. That's more of a Visionary Villain who believes Utopia Justifies the Means. Many Friendly Neighborhood Vampires fall in this category. If the transformation is due to The Virus, this requires copious Heroic Willpower. These characters can usually pull off a Sheep in Wolf's Clothing gambit. See also Monster Adventurers. Related to My Species Doth Protest Too Much, which refers to creatures that aren't former humans. Opposite Trope to Transhuman Treachery. Super Trope to Vampire Refugee and Phlebotinum Rebel.

Yet there he was, standing at the top of the small incline that separated us as our paths converged that day. Im not sure how long hed been there.

Why does the maximum human age seem to hover around the 100-year mark? Why not 200 or even 500 years? If were to believe accounts in the Torah and Old Testament texts, many ancient people measured their lives in terms of centuries, rather than the decades that we use today. Adam, for example, is documented []

I remember a conversation I had a few years ago that beautifully illustrates what I mean by waiting for life to get back to normal. I was talking to a gas-station attendant in a small mountain town about the weak economy and how people in the area were coping. How are things in this part []

Hotel offers $2,000-a-night ‘space station’ experience …

Posted on October 5, 2015 by Danzig

Soon it'll be possible to (almost) indulge this fantasy without leaving Earth.

A hotel in Zurich, Switzerland, has just unveiled a new suite kitted out to look like the inside of a space station.

Grand Kameha's Space Suite comes equipped with a "zero gravity" bed -- built to look like it's floating above the ground -- and steam bath designed to simulate a view into the universe.

With Ridley Scott's "The Martian" hitting cinemas this month, It could be an ideal escape for someone inspired to seek interstellar isolation.

The suite was designed by German artist Michael Najjar, who for the last three years has been training for a civilian journey to space on board Virgin Galactic, and often uses it as inspiration for his work.

However, those who simply seek a restful place to lay their head at the end of the day might want to stay away.

"The intention was not at all to create a comfortable bedroom," says Najjar.

"It's more about creating an immersive environment which makes the hotel guest feel like living on a space station."

The "zero gravity" bed is designed to appear as if it is floating.

The artist was allowed to let his imagination run riot when designing the room, with the only caveat being that it had to have a bed and a toilet.

It features a two-screen video installation visualizing space debris in Earth's orbit, spotlights inspired by rocket engines, and a shelf shaped like a space glove to hold phones or key cards. The room also has a library of books, audiobooks and films related to space travel, with an automated female voice inspired by John Carpenter's science fiction film "Dark Star" welcoming the guests.

"They will forget that they are staying in a hotel room -- they will feel like being on board a space station," says Najjar.

While in most hotels guests can take a pick of rolling news channels, the Space Suite gets a live stream from the International Space Station and a direct link to NASA TV.

"Space is the final frontier for humankind," says Najjar. ''Current developments in space travel and exploration will have a huge impact on our life on earth in the future. One day we will see hotels floating in space. What we did here is a space station floating in a hotel."

With a price tag of nearly $2,000 a night and an unorthodox concept, who is the Space Suite designed to appeal to?

"A guest who is art loving, a collector, a visitor of Art Basel or someone who would like to have an overall art experience," says Carsten K. Rath, CEO of Kameha.

Patrons will also get to spend an hour in an Airbus A320 flight simulator and try body flying, a training technique used by skydivers which sees them suspended in a vertical wind tunnel.

And if they're curious to meet the man behind the design, they'll be given an opportunity to visit Michael Najjar's Berlin studio and see him there.

Kameha Grand Zurich offers the galaxy getaway two-night package from 1845 CHF ($1,890) per night. This includes bed and breakfast accommodation in the space suite, space amenities on arrival, 1.5 hours body flying /1 hour flight simulation in an A320, a signed book of Michael Najjar's work, a designer art gift, and an invitation to meet Najjar in his Berlin studio.

Astronauts Adapt to Life on Board the Space Station

Posted on October 5, 2015 by Danzig

Mary Helen Berg, for USA TODAY NASA Special Edition 3:45 p.m. EDT October 2, 2015

NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren corrals the supply of fresh fruit that arrived August 25, 2015 on the Kounotori 5 H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV-5.) Visiting cargo ships often carry a small cache of fresh food for crew members aboard the International Space Station. Image Credit: NASA(Photo: NASA)

Astronauts aboard the international Space Station (ISS) live a life experienced by only 218 people in the world. Though part of their daily routine is familiar to all of us, even mundane tasks become extraordinary when your home is a high-tech microgravity lab hurtling through space at 5 miles per second, 250 miles above your home planet.

Orbiting Outhouse

For instance, imagine trying to do your business in zero gravity and floating away from the throne. Or worse.

You do occasionally get what we call a brown trout, where the fish get away and you have to corral them with a wet wipe and put them back where they need to go, revealed Barry Butch Wilmore, who served as ISS commander from November 2014 to March 2015.

The ISS toilet is much like a standard commode with a lid and seat, but since theres no gravity, crewmembers use various restraints and handles to keep themselves in the correct position.

Astronauts use a waste collection system, which includes a hose device to vacuum urine away from the body and keep solid waste in place as it is deposited into an individual plastic bag in the toilet can. Liquid waste is filtered, purified and recycled for use as drinking water.

Soups On

Sit-down dinners are for earthlings.

Meals on the ISS look more like space take-out, and dining is designed so feasts dont float away. Astronauts gather for meals but usually hover near each other and dip long-handled spoons into individually portioned pouches of pre-made food, Wilmore said.

Cooking consists of heating food packets in a briefcase-like apparatus fitted with a hot plate and springs to hold the package in place. The station also stocks dehydrated meals that are lighter to ship and stay preserved longer than military-style Meals Ready to Eat (MREs). Salt and pepper in liquid form help spice things up.

You can eat anything with the right condiments, said Wilmore, a fan of ISS meatloaf and chicken with peanut sauce.

An astronauts diet must prevent weight loss, which can damage bones and muscles and cause cardiovascular stress and other health complications, explained Scott Smith, lead scientist in the Nutritional Biochemistry Laboratory at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Crewmembers also take vitamin D supplements to offset months without sunlight and drink plenty of water to compensate for the stations dry environment, Smith said.

Since 2009, the ISS has processed condensation from the stations air and recycled astronauts urine to provide drinking water.

It is the best water I have ever tasted, Wilmore claimed. Its fantastic.

Weightless Workout

Astronauts on the ISS barely break a sweat performing triple flips mid-air, but the weightless environment requires strenuous daily workouts to stay strong.

Without gravity to provide resistance, astronauts risk losing endurance, strength, power, coordination, balance and agility. Weakness and bone loss are equivalent to being in bed for six months, said Mark Guilliams, a NASA strength, conditioning and rehabilitation specialist.

Astronauts lose 1 percent to 2 percent of their bone mass during flight and can lose more than 10 percent of muscle strength during a six-month space station expedition.

To counteract these side effects, crewmembers follow strength training and cardiovascular protocols two hours a day, six days a week.

Their gym consists of three machines scattered amid the stations scientific experiments: a treadmill fitted with a harness and bungee cords to keep the user in place; a stationary bicycle that can be ridden without a seat or handlebars; and a type of weight resistance machine called the aRED, or advanced Resistive Exercise Device.

Astronaut Sunita Williams shook up her workout by running the Boston Marathon on the ISS treadmill in 2007 (unofficial time: 4:24) and completing the first space triathlon in 2012 (unofficial time: 1:48:33), using all three exercise devices to simulate the race.

Goodnight Moon

Sweet dreams can be elusive, especially when your head floats above your pillow and the sun rises every 45 minutes.

Astronauts often suffer insomnia as they adjust to strange light cycles, body fluid shifts and zero gravity, said Dr. Smith Johnston, who leads NASAs fatigue management program at the Johnson Space Center.

ISS astronauts sleep in small pods about the size of a phone booth that contain a sleeping bag and personal belongings. At bedtime, they crawl into their bag and float with their hands and head bobbing.

Sleep deprivation is a serious health concern. ISS astronauts average only about six hours of sleep even fewer during busy periods, such as when the shuttle docks, Johnston said.

Next year, NASA plans to replace the stations fluorescent lights with LEDs programmed to produce light that will help the astronauts bodies differentiate day from night.

Russia launches Progress supply ship to space station …

Posted on October 5, 2015 by Danzig

A Russian Progress cargo ship carrying 3.1 tons of supplies and equipment, visible at left, moves in for docking at the aft port of the International Space Station's Zvezda command module. Visible in the foreground are another Progress supply ship and the Soyuz TMA-17M crew ferry craft.

NASA TV

An automated Russian Progress supply ship docked at the International Space Station Thursday evening six hours after launch from Kazakhstan, bringing 3.1 tons of supplies and equipment to the outpost after a problem-free rendezvous.

"A flawless journey of six hours three minutes for the Progress 61 cargo craft," reported Rob Navias, NASA's mission control commentator. "All the pre-programmed engine firings to increase its altitude and to begin the journey to catch up to the International Space Station went by the book, with no issues whatsoever."

The mission began at 12:49:40 p.m. EDT (GMT-4; 10:49 p.m. local time) when the cargo ship's Soyuz booster roared to life and climbed away from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, two minutes after the space station passed overhead.

Lighting up the night sky, the rocket quickly arced away to the east, flying directly into the plane of the station's orbit to kick off a four-orbit rendezvous.

Just under nine minutes after liftoff, the Progress M-29M/61P spacecraft separated from the booster's upper stage and a few seconds after that, it's two solar panels and navigation antennas unfolded and locked in place as planned.

The Progress M-29M/61P cargo ship takes off atop a Soyuz booster from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Cosmonauts Sergei Volkov and Oleg Kononenko were standing by at a work station inside Zvezda, ready to take over by remote control if necessary. But there were no problems, and the cargo craft moved in for docking as planned at 6:52 p.m. as the two spacecraft sailed 252 miles above the north Atlantic Ocean.

The M-29M/61P vehicle is a welcome addition to the station, bringing 6,373 pounds of equipment and supplies to the lab complex: 1,940 pounds of propellant, 926 pounds of water, 110 pounds of oxygen and 3,397 pounds of dry cargo, including spare parts, crew supplies and other gear.

The station's six-man crew -- Expedition 45 commander Scott Kelly, cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko, Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui, NASA astronaut Kjell Lindren, Volkov and Kononenko -- plan to open hatches and start unloading the spacecraft Friday.

NASA and its partners like to maintain a six-month reserve of critical supplies aboard the lab complex to protect against the possibility of a launch failure or some other mishap that might disrupt the supply train.

In a dramatic reversal of fortune, a Progress supply ship was lost in a launch failure last April followed by a SpaceX resupply mishap in June. Those back-to-back failures, along with the loss of an Orbital Science Cygnus cargo ship late last year, reduced the station's reserves to well under four months.

But NASA and Roscosmos, the Russian federal space agency, appear to be well on the road to recovery.

Since the SpaceX failure in June, the Russians successfully launched a Progress mission in July and Japan sent up its fifth HTV cargo ship in August. With the arrival of the M-29M/61P supply craft, another Progress scheduled for launch Nov. 21 and an Orbital Sciences Cygnus cargo ship set for launch Dec. 3, the station's reserves should be back to near-normal levels by the end of the year.

The next SpaceX station resupply mission is targeted for launch Jan. 3.

In the previous eight years, the CLINAM Summit grew to the largest in its field with 12 presenting Noble Laureates and more than 500 participants from academia, industry, regulatory authorities and policy from over 40 different countries in Europe and worldwide. With this success and broad support by well beyond 20 renowned collaborating initiatives, the CLINAM-Summit is today one of the most important marketplaces for scientific exchange and discussions of regulatory, political and ethical aspects in this field of cutting edge medicine.

In particular, the CLINAM Summit emerged as exquisite forum for translation from bench to bedside, for European and international networking, and for industrial collaboration between companies, with academia, and point-of-contact with customers. The summit is presently the only place to meet the regulatory authorities from all continents to debate the needs of all stakeholders in the field with the legislators.

CLINAM 9/2016continues with its successful tradition to cover the manifold interdisciplinary fields of Clinical and Targeted Nanomedicine in major and neglected diseases. As special focus area, CLINAM 09/2016 adds translation and enabling technologies, including, for example, cutting-edge molecular profiling, nano-scale analytics, single cell analysis, stem cell technologies, tissue engineering, in and ex vivo systems as well as in vitro substitute systems for efficacy and toxicity testing.

CLINAM 09/2016covers the entire interdisciplinary spectrum of Nanomedicine and Targeted Medicine from new materials with potential medical applications and enabling technologies over diagnostic and therapeutic translation to clinical applications in infectious, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as diabetes, cancer and regenerative medicine to societal implications, strategical issues, and regulatory affairs. The conference is sub-divided into four different tracks running in parallel and provides ample possibilities for exhibitors as indicated by steadily increasing requests:

Track 1: Clinical and Targeted Nanomedicine Basic Research Disease Mechanisms and Personalized Medicine Regenerative Medicine Novel Therapeutic and Diagnostic Approaches Active and Passive Targeting Targeted Delivery (antibodies, affibodies, aptamers, nano drug delivery devices) Accurin Technology Nano-Toxicology Track 2: Clinical and Targeted Nanomedicine: Translation Unsolved Medical Problems Personalized Medicine and Theranostic Approaches Regenerative Medicine Advanced Breaking and Ongoing Clinical Trials Applied Nanomedical Diagnostics and Therapeutics Track 3: Enabling Technologies Nanomaterial Analytics and Testing Molecular Profiling for Research and Efficacy/Toxicology Testing (Genomics, Proteomics, Glycomics, Lipidomics, Metabolomics) Functional Testing Assays and Platforms Single Cell Analyses Cell Tracking Stem Cell Biology and Engineering Technologies Microfluidics Tissue Engineering Tissues-on-a-Chip Bioprinting In vivo Testing Novel Imaging Approaches Medical Devices Track 4: Regulatory, Societal Affairs and Networking Regulatory Issues in Nanomedicine Strategy and Policy The Patients` Perspective Ethical Issues in Nanomedicine University Village Cutting-Edge EU-Project Presentations Networking for International Consortium Formation

For CLINAM 9 / 16 Last Summit the number of exhibitors increased without investment of acquisition.As from the 9th Summit the CLINAM-Foundation has stepped in to a Partnership with The Congress Center Basel which will invest in a proactive acquisition and management for large foyer exhibition. Based on last years exhibition it is expected to have about 50 Exhibitors at thenext Summit. Exhibitors can profit of the possibility to meet their target visitors on one single spot in Basel at CLINAM 9 / 2016. With this new concept for the exhibition, the international CLINAM-summit becomes also the place for the pulse of the market and early sales in the field of cutting-edge medicine.

The exhibitors are invited to participate in the below in the nomenclature described fields. The list is topic to extensions so that by proposals from exhibitors it will constantly be updated. Strong focus of the exhibition relates to the topics of the conference in which Nanomedicine and Targeted Medicine - presently the most important building blocks in novel Medicine - are debated. The organizers look forward to the interest of the exhibitors to at a moderate investment take the opportunity to meet the community of Nanomedicine, Targeted Medicine and those investing into cutting edge Medicine tools and applications.

The CLINAM- Summit has every year 150 presentations. Many young mist skilled young researchers, young starting entrepreneurs, Engineers and scientists apply for posters and oral presentations. CLINAM offers a first Deadline for those, submitting their work before February 15, 2016 a discount of 20% on the registration fees for Submitters (610.00 ; for students 430.00 ) . The second Deadline after that is April 25, 2016

The Exhibitors at CLINAM 8/2015

The European Foundation for Clinical Nanomedicine is a non-profit institution aiming at advancing medicine to the benefit of individuals and society through the application of nanoscience. Aiming at prevention, diagnosis, and therapy through nanomedicine as well as at exploration of its implications, the Foundation reaches its goals through support of clinically focussed research and of interaction and information flow between clinicians, researchers, the public, and other stakeholders. The recognition of the large future impact of nanoscience on medicine and the observed rapid advance of medical applications of nanoscience have been the main reasons for the creation of the Foundation.

Nanotechnology is generally considered as the key technology of the 21st century. It is an interdisciplinary scientific field focusing on methods, materials, and tools on the nanometer scale, i.e. one millionth of a millimeter. The application of this science to medicine seeks to benefit patients by providing prevention, early diagnosis, and effective treatment for prevalent, for disabling, and for currently incurable medical conditions.

Genetics and Molecular Medicine

Posted on October 4, 2015 by Danzig

Genetics is the study of how biological traits and characteristics are transmitted through generations and families. Molecular medicine examines how illness and disease occurs or can be prevented at the cellular or molecular level. Both fields are experiencing exciting new developments in research and in practical applications, as well as confronting important legal, ethical andpolicy issues about their use.

The AMA is committed to providing extensive and up-to-date news and information about these new fields of medicine and law, whether discussing genetic testing and genetic discrimination, investigating gene patenting, or explaining the Human Genome Project.

Below are important announcements and personalized medicine topics.

AMA submits comments on FDA proposal to regulate laboratory developed testing services and procedures On Feb. 2, 2015, the AMA submitted comments to the FDA expressing concern that the agency's proposal to impose new regulatory requirements for laboratory developed testing services and procedures would hinder medical innovation and result in reduced patient access to essential care. Laboratory developed testing services and procedures are a critical part of the practice of medicine and represent the majority of the advanced laboratory tests used in patient care. In order to ensure physicians can continue to provide patients with the best care possible and to innovate and improve upon that care, the AMA urged the FDA to withdraw it proposal, collaborate with other federal entities to modernize existing laboratory oversight processes, conduct a comprehensive environmental scan to identify key concerns, and streamline and reform its regulation of manufacturers of commercial diagnostic testing kits.

AMA and others ask the FDA for notice and comment rulemaking for LDT regulatory framework On Nov. 18, 2014, the AMA and approximately 50 other groups representing a broad range of stakeholders in genomic medicine asked the FDA to withdraw its proposed guidance Framework for Regulatory Oversight of Laboratory Developed Tests and instead proceed using notice and comment rulemaking. Laboratory developed testing (LDT) services are a vital area of medical practice impacting the majority of patients across the country, and wholesale change in oversight and regulation should be done with full consideration of the clinical realities of health care delivery. Notice and comment rulemaking will increase the likelihood that the agency will be able to achieve regulatory goals without jeopardizing the current delivery of testing services to patients and the continued advancement in testing and patient care. View the letter to the FDA.

Guiding Principles on Personalized Medicine The AMA, in collaboration wth several medical specialty societies,has developed legislative principles on personalized medicine that guide its advocacy efforts. These principles are rooted in the belief that physicians are integral to the scientific inquiry and innovation processes that drive personalized medicine, and that they must have the discretion to utilizethe genetic tools that are most appropriate for patient care. Since regulation of genetic tests is integral to physician practice and patient care, the principle addressing oversight of laboratory-developed tests has been further elaborated upon.

Education and research Listing of several educational programs and initiatives in the fields of genetics and molecular medicine.

Family history Describes the importance of a family medical history and provides resources on how to collect information and generate a simple pedigree.

Current topics in genetics and medicine Background information on the areas of applied genetics that have the potential to affect medicine most profoundly.

Genetics and policy issues There is a vast body of evolving policy to guide physicians and researchers through the maze of ethical, legal and social issues surrounding genetics and molecular medicine. Highlights of some of the most pressing policy topics are described here. Topics include the stem cell research, genetic testing, genetic discrimination, gene patenting, and use of human participants in scientific research.

Stalin pursued a more anti-semitic policy after WW2 than he did before it, hence my point: Evil is evil, greater or lesser, it is still Evil.

Why choose evil? When we choose between two evils, the choice we make is still evil.

Hark at the sound of the collectivist statist! "I speak for everyone! Most people are okay with statism! I speak for all of you and not just me!"

And here we arrive at my very point of the problem, that you believe people's genes are flag-wrapped, and defines people's genes.

I repeat what I said:

Thank you for proving my point for me.

If most people weren't ok with Statism, it would have been overthrown long ago.

Milton Hayek

There is thing called generalization. If I'd say that everyone here opposed pedophilia, you'd not question that everyone would agree. At most I generalized too much when I said most people would agree with me. But apparently, using generalizations is the same as wanting to vote of whom we should rape before expropriating their property.

Don't be a dork. Of course chosing lesser evil is still evil, thats the whole f***ing point of chosing lesser evil. Only cowards will after choosing lesser evil claim they are choosing morally pure option. Because they are too cowardly to accept that sometimes harsh reality offers no clean solution. And only self-indulgent moral moralist will be paralysed with inaction rather that do something that can help to make the world better place now. What should Jews and others caught between Nazism ans Stalinism have done? Support latter (which does not want to exterminate them immediately) only until it becomes clear Stalinism will win, and then drop out of fight, stay undercover and maintain strength, while two evils bleed themselves dry, and prepare for resistance against victor. Supporting someone as long as it benefits you does not mean you agree with him or that ghe is your friend.

And again, why the hell you would think majority of people are not okay with statism, if even most of libertarians are okay with some limited statism.

Freise is ranked 1st in libertarian and 19,940th in the world for Most Beautiful Environments, with 162.5 Pounds of Wildlife less Pounds of Concrete per square mile.

Milton Hayek

Because, when I make statement about majority of people supporting statism (while not claiming that their view is correct due to its popularity), I am collectivist a**hole who baselessly claims to speak for everyone. But when you make a statement about majority of people hating statism, well, you just speak hard irreffutable facts.

If they think there's no alternative to what is governing them, they go to polling booth based on misplaced ideals, and become disillusioned with it, they are not bother to investigate whet the alternatives may be, don't care much if who they are voting for is evil or not, and become politically apathetic. They are ok with it enough not to do anything about it.

Army Regulation 25-55 The Dept. of the Army Freedom of Information Act Program

Citizens Guide 2006 A Citizens Guide to request Army records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

What is the FOIA?

The Freedom of Information Act generally provides that any person has a right, enforceable in court, to obtain access to federal agency records, except to the extent that such records (or portions of them) are protected from disclosure by one of nine exemptions or by one of three special law enforcement record exclusions.

Enacted in 1966, the FOIA established for the first time an effective statutory right of access to government information. The principles of government openness and accountability underlying the FOIA, however, are inherent in the democratic ideal: "The basic purpose of [the] FOIA is to ensure an informed citizenry, vital to the functioning of a democratic society, needed to check against corruption and to hold the governors accountable to the governed." The Supreme Court has emphasized that "official information that sheds light on an agency's performance of its statutory duties falls squarely within that statutory purpose."

This was emphasized also in the statement of FOIA policy issued by President Clinton on Oct. 4, 1993, in which he called upon all federal agencies to renew their commitment to the Act and to enhance its effectiveness as a vital mechanism of government openness and accountability:

"For more than a quarter century now, the Freedom of Information Act has played a unique role in strengthening our democratic form of government. The statute was enacted based upon the fundamental principle that an informed citizenry is essential to the democratic process and that the more the American people know about their government the better they will be governed. Openness in government is essential to accountability and the Act has become an integral part of that process."

Stargazing at New Jersey Planetariums and Observatories

Posted on October 4, 2015 by Danzig

Where to go to see the sky's stars in NJ

By Mary Ann McGann and Vicky Valet

Published: June 4, 2015

Four hundred years ago, the Italian astronomer, mathematician, and physicist Galileo first used a simple telescope to study the skies. In 2009, we celebrated the International Year of Astronomy to commemorate that important anniversary of scientific history.

While the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City is always a superb option in your personal quest to reach for the skies, New Jersey also has some top-notch planetariums and observatories of its own.

There has been a lot of mention recently in the media about the sorry state of science education in the United States, says Kevin Conod, astronomer and planetarium manager at the Newark Museums Dreyfuss Planetarium. Astronomy is a great way to get kids interested in science, since it is so interdisciplinary. In our programs, we cover earth science, life science, astronomy, physics, and mythology.

The Dreyfuss Planetarium was built in 1953 and was the first of its kind in the state. Since then, approximately 1.5 million people have visited its 50-seat star theater, which boasts a Zeiss ZKP3 star projector, capable of projecting up to 7,000 stars.

The Planetarium at Raritan Valley Community College in North Branch uses new digital equipment to take visitors beyond the more traditional, earthbound view.

We can travel through our solar system more realistically, says Jerry Vinski, director of The Planetarium. We can recreate what Galileo saw.

Another facility offering cutting-edge technology is the Planetarium at the New Jersey State Museum in Trenton. The 150-seat facility with reclining seats features a Full Dome Video with the visual ability to soar into space to view other planets and Earth itself.

In addition, amateur astronomy clubs at facilities such as the Sperry Observatory at Union County College and the Robert A. Schommer Astronomical Observatory at Rutgers offer their time and telescopes to the general public, taking visitors on tours of the nighttime sky.

The sky is chock full of bright stars, says Newark Museums Conod. Not to mention planets, galaxies, nebulae, constellations, and much more. Which makes any clear night a perfect time for stargazing.

Here is a listing of New Jersey planetariums and observatories. Some offer shows that require reservations, so its a good idea to call ahead and check schedules. Admission prices at planetariums that are part of museums may be added to museum admission. If planetariums and observatories pique your interest in stargazing and you'd like to learn more, think about joining one of the United Astronomy Clubs in New Jersey.
