A NEW OFFER FROM THE PRODUCER OF “MANY INSPIRED STEPS”

“Many Inspired Steps”, the exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first humans on the Moon has been downloaded and presented around the world, including in: Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, England, France, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Lebanon, New Zealand, Nigeria, United States, and Zanzibar.

“Many Inspired Steps” was created by Dr. Thomas A. Lesser, formerly Senior Lecturer at the American Museum-Hayden Planetarium in New York City and distributed by Audio Visual Imagineering, Inc. Neither Dr. Lesser nor AVI charged any fee for the exhibition.

Due to the extraordinary success of the exhibition, Dr. Lesser and Joanne Young of AVI are interested to know if there might be a need for other similar, free astronomy-related exhibitions.

Solar System
Exploration of Space
The Sun
Age/scale of the Universe

Other, please specify

Assuming the exhibition’s panels were 2×3 feet (as are the panels for “Many Inspired Steps”), approximately how many panels would work best for you?
Less than 20
25-30
More than 30

Thank you for sharing your insights,

Charles Townes, the inventor of the laser and Nobel Prize winner in Physics, is now peacefully beaming through the infinite universe.

Charles Hard Townes, a native of South Carolina who built the first microwave amplifier -- the maser -- and designed the first laser, died Jan. 27 at the age of 99. After receiving the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics, he went on to pioneer the use of lasers in astronomy.

The JPS-Hurst Planetarium now has AVI's 1.6K OmniStar system, powered by Uniview. The theater also has East Coast Control Systems RGB LED cove lights. With the generosity of the Hurst family, private donors and grants, the planetarium was updated this past June.

Mark has always worked tirelessly to keep the planetarium relevant. He spent over two years generating public interest and promoting the benefits of an updated planetarium.

AVI is thrilled for Mark, the Hurst family and the community of Jackson!
