    Abstract: A spherical body map having one hemisphere centered on any given point of the body and another hemisphere centered on its antipodal point is provided in the Azimuthal Equidistant Hemispheric projection. Both hemispheres are placed side by side so to show a great circle line passing through the center and antipodal points straight. This map can show correct directions and distances from the center point to any other points on the body with realistic and recognizable shapes, even for remote continents. It can also demonstrate three important properties of this projection: directions from points along a great circle to a center point do not show the exact opposite of directions from the center point to the points; distances between any two points, not only from the center point, along a great circle line are correct; and the map is convertible from flat to three-dimensional forms.

    Abstract: A planetarium apparatus of this invention memorizes a plurality of texture image data expressing conditions of a surface of an object in a picture memory by relating to the range of a distance from a viewpoint to the object. One of the texture image data in the picture memory is read out in accordance with a distance from the viewpoint to the object and by adjusting its size a texture image on the basis of the texture image data read out is pasted to an area of the entire image occupied by the object. Further, a remaining portion is formed as a real time image. In consequence, when a take-off from, or a landing onto, the surface of a celestial body is represented, a picture in which the condition of surrounding cosmic space is reproduced in real time, and the surface pattern of the celestial body from which a take off, or onto which a landing can both be displayed with a high degree of quality.

    Abstract: A digital solar system model includes a display with a center representing the sun, and discrete lamps arranged in concentric loops around the sun representing the planetary orbits. The lamps are controlled by a processor. The orbital motion of each planet is represented by sequentially illuminating the lamps in a corresponding orbit. Each planet must wait through a predetermined count between adjacent lamp positions, and the count is proportional to the size of the orbit. Upon startup, the planets are set to their proper relative positions on a default starting date, then set in motion at their proper relative orbital rates. The speed, direction, and starting/stopping of orbital motion are controlled via a motion control keypad. Time passage is shown on a digital date display. Numeric keys are provided on the motion control keypad for entering a GOTO date of a desired Earth year and month within a permitted range of past and future dates. When a GOTO date is entered, the planets are reset to their positions on the default starting date, then set in motion toward the GOTO date, orbiting forward when the GOTO date is in the future, or backward when the GOTO date is in the past. The planets are stopped when the GOTO date is reached.
