WARNING
Persons who have photosensitive epilepsy or are subject to seizures due to flashing lights at certain light intensities and frequencies are cautioned that the planetarium does produce flashing, flickering and varying brightness level lighting effects between the frequencies of 5 to 30 flashes per second (hertz). These effects are produced by strobe, laser and various colored lights.

View a 360º IPIX Image of the CyberSphere!
An IPIX image is a 360º x 360º view. In other words, you can look up, down, and all the way around you as you view the image in the IPIX viewer. If you’ve never seen an IPIX image before, you probably will need to download the IPIX viewer. Two versions are available of the image. The low resolution version is only about 65KB, so it should download in less than 40 seconds over a 28.8 modem. The high resolution version is about 185KB, so it should download in less than two minutes over a 28.8 modem. It takes longer, but the image is more clear. If you need to download the IPIX viewer, hop on over to www.ipix.com/photo_support/download/plugin.shtml.
