Last week, Dallas Elementary hosted the STARLAB. The STARLAB has been creating memories long before any other portable planetarium. It was first invented in the late 1980s, and has a long, colorful history.
More than a million students have gotten their first, and in many cases only, in depth look at the unspoiled night sky. The world has changed over the past 30 years, and so has the sky.
Light pollution is now a problem for virtually every student or amateur astronomer. It is rare to find students, at any grade level, who have regularly seen the milky way with their own eyes. Through the use of STARLAB, this is a reality.
