Spokesman for the stars

It was sad to see the myriad changes at Exploration Place include the departure of astronomer Martin Ratcliffe, whose work as director of the CyberDome Theatre began even two years before the attraction opened in 2000. His passion for science was central to the center’s identity, both among local stargazers and international scientists and planetarium professionals. As Ratcliffe moves on, Exploration Place officials must ensure that the programming in the impressive 60-foot domed theater lives up to its high-tech potential.

    Don’t worry Rhonda, our great civic leaders will find a buddy to take over Martin’s job and probably at a higher salary.
