It's #FlashbackFriday! 🚀 Take a trip down memory lane with this 1992 news article about Starlab's visit to Taylor Elementary School. Students experienced the wonders of the night sky inside a portable planetarium. 🌌🔭 #SummerOfFlashbacks #FeelGoodFridays #RetroReads #TaylorTide

photo of a news article from Tuesday, March 10, 1992 called "Starlab delights, educates students" The article reads "The Taylor Elementary School gymnasium in Columbia took on a slightly different character last week. Normally, it's used for physical education, as a cafeteria and for assemblies or displays. Last week, however, the steady hum of an ordinary window fan was punctuated with enthused, childish cries of discovery and wodnerment inside an inflated silver bubble. The other worldly ight was Starlab, a portable planetarium provided by the Lancaster-Lebanon IU13. The bubble, made of industrial strenght polymer and offereing about 200 square feet as class space, is a proven teaching aid.
