Hemisphere at Virginia Air & Space Museum
 Global Imagination®
now offers the
Magic Planet®
Hemisphere. This new solution provides a big impact in
a fraction of the space. With a Magic Planet Hemisphere, you get
twice the effective resolution at less than half the cost. The Virginia
Air & Space Center
in Hampton, Virginia was looking for just such a
solution when they chose a 5ft (1.5m) hemisphere for their Space Quest permanent exhibit. Now their visitors use an
interactive touchscreen to view animated images of the Earth, moon, sun, and
Mars on a wall-mounted hemisphere. Global Imagination now offers
Magic Planet Hemispheres in sizes ranging from 3ft (91cm) to 5ft
(1.5m). Contact our sales team today at info@globalimagination.com

MORE MAGIC PLANET CONTENT
NOW AVAILABLE
Not only is the Magic Planet
innovative and eye-catching technology, but Global Imagination
offers all its customers access to engaging, informative, and
attention-grabbing content. For new customers this offers a ready-to-go
solution. For current customers this offers a constant source of new content
that draws new visitors and keeps the previous ones coming back.
Two of the hottest additions to
our content library include the following NASA creations:
Frozen Video - NASA presents a spectacular new movie that depicts the
changing Earth. Frozen focuses on the
Earth's icy poles and places where the temperature doesn't generally rise above
water's freezing point. It shows how scientists are using data from these areas
of our planet to address critical issues of global climate change.
NASA Earth
Science Touch Screen Exhibit - NASA has developed a fascinating
exhibit about their global Earth Observation program. The exhibit covers
twenty-four different global measurements that NASA satellites collect. For
each, the exhibit explains not only the satellite and instrument used to create
the animations, but also how the measurement relates to us and our
environment.

TELLUS: NORTHWEST GEORGIA
SCIENCE MUSEUM
Magic Planet in the Mineral Gallery Wing
 When the Weinman Mineral Museum decided to expand from 9,000 to 120,000 sq ft
and become the Tellus: Northwest Georgia Science Museum, they had a big vision. A large
part of that vision included turning the original museum into a mineral gallery
designed to explore how our Earth works.
The Tellus Science Museum selected a paleographic animation
created by scientist Chris Scotese to illustrate the continental drift over 600
million years. They even had a red dot added to the animation to identify where
Georgia is from start to the present
day.
"It makes so much more sense on a sphere," Santamaria
noted. Visitors agree, as nearly 154,000 people have made their way through the
museum since they opened the doors on the expansion in January of this year.
They will stop at the Magic Planet and watch the red dot of
Georgia make its way across the globe
with the continents.
Not only have regular visitors enjoyed the new exhibit,
but over 25,000 students from the northwest Georgia
schools have had an opportunity to participate in staff directed programs that
align with the state standards for science in education. Another 31,000 are
already scheduled to participate in the new school year and will attend the two
hour presentations which include guided instruction through the gallery with the
Magic Planet and hands-on lab
activities.
Santamaria says that plans are already being considered
for other presentations using the Magic Planet, possibly including
lunar landings. One of the advantages of being a part of the Global
Imagination community is the access to additional ready-made
exhibits, images, and animations.
The Tellus Science Museum is enjoying the interest the Magic
Planet is receiving from adults and children alike. Santamaria
concluded, "It's one of the center pieces of the mineral gallery and adds a dynamic punch to the
exhibits. It's been very cool to have - it's drawn a lot of people
in."
