ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

We are trying to find a way to project the sun into a museum building
and on to a prism to create a rainbow effect. Does anyone have advice
on what it takes to get a tracking device that would work year-round to
project the sun's light into a building? We of course have telescopes
that can be set up to do a similar job on a daily basis but this would
be a more permanent installation and one that would, ideally, not
require daily adjustment.
I recall seeing a device at the space museum in Rio de Janeiro that
projected the sun onto the museum floor...I should have taken more
notes!
Reply online or offline, if you would.
