Some nice things happened at The Lawrence Hall of Science where Alan still goes and does volunteer work for.
Here is Alan setting up his Questar telescope with a solar filter at LHS for public viewing of the October 14 eclipse of the Sun that was a partial eclipse in Berkeley and annular in some other states.
In November, at a gala dinner event at The Lawrence, Alan got to chat a bit with Nobel prize winner in astronomy Saul Perlmutter.
One of Alan's long held dreams for the LHS Planetarium was to have a control interface that allowed drop-in visitors to operate different planetarium functions and be in control of the sky. Well, that dream came true this year. Not only is there a spanking new nanoseam dome (35' diameter) but the program for drop-in visitors is in regular schedule; it's called Planetarium Pilots. At the bottom of this photo you can see the home page of the iPad control setup.
Alan also still does volunteer work maintaining websites for the LHS Global Systems Science project, Pacific Planetarium Association, Planetarians' Zoom Seminars, the Western Alliance of Planetariums, the International Planetarium Society, Planetarium Activities for Successful Shows, and our local neighborhood association.
