Abstract

In 1912, Oskar von Miller, an electrical engineer and the founder of the Deutsches Museum, had an idea: Could you project an artificial starry sky onto a dome, as a way of demonstrating astronomical principles to the public? It was such a novel concept that when von Miller asked executives at the Carl Zeiss company to manufacture the projector, they initially turned him down. Lead engineer Walther Bauersfeld made it happen. Completed in 1923, the Zeiss Model I displayed 4,500 stars, the Milky Way, and five planets across a 10-meter dome built on the roof of the Zeiss headquarters in Jena. The planetarium was the first of its kind, defining the look and feel of these installations to this day.
过去向前天文馆诞生
1912 年,电气工程师兼德意志博物馆创始人奥斯卡-冯-米勒(Oskar von Miller)有了一个想法:能否将人造星空投影到穹顶上,以此向公众展示天文学原理?这是一个非常新颖的概念,当冯-米勒要求卡尔-蔡司公司的高管制造投影仪时,他们一开始拒绝了他。但首席工程师瓦尔特-鲍尔斯费尔德(Walther Bauersfeld)使之成为现实。蔡司 I 型天文馆于 1923 年竣工,在耶拿蔡司总部屋顶上的 10 米穹顶上展示了 4500 颗恒星、银河和五大行星。该天文馆是同类天文馆中的第一座,其外观和感觉一直沿用至今。
