GeoSpace - New skyline in Toronto?
November 9th, 2006
For whatever reason, I’ve always cherished my childhood visits to the McLaughlin Planetarium, which closed down in 1995. This morning, I stumbled upon a group, GeoSpace, who are proposing a new planetarium be constructed on the Toronto waterfront. If this plan becomes a reality, I will be one of the first in line to see the show. I so miss it.
The planetarium is just one of those things that seem to open your mind to a whole different set of rules. The darkness, the voice, the stars, the chairs, the projector, the whole experience of a planetarium is so different than a museum or movie. For some reason, the McLaughlin Planetarium is burned into my head, though I have only ever been there a handful of times. It is clearly an experience I never forgot.
I wish the people in Toronto at the GeoSpace Planetarium the best of luck with their proposal. They’ve got my support.
