To better use the Kuiper Sphere at Yerkes Observatory, we are developing movies and other computer programs to display planets and other objects onto that sphere. Several movies were shown as part of the Teacher Lunacy Workshop III held at Yerkes on October 8th 2011 (more information here). In the future we plan to release the movies for classroom use by teachers.
To provide a set of visual projections onto the Kuiper Sphere and to collect historical background about the use of the Kuiper Sphere for science.
The data for the movies is stored on Fileswap fileswap under Yerkes Projects → Kuiper Sphere. The movies are made with the Blender 3D content creation suite. WHERE ARE THE FINISHED MOVIES?
Historical information is in Lynne's talk that is also on Fileswap.
Please add an entry below whenever there is progress in the project.
