With a storage of artwork moving from dusty galleries to memory chips, MSU Museum officials are addressing the preservation of digital artwork.
Campus briefs
Bernard Reilly Jr., president of the Center for Research Libraries, will be presenting the program Learning from Enron: Cultural Stewardship in the Digital Age at 1:30 p.m. Friday in the MSU Museum Auditorium.
Museum spokeswoman Lora Helou said the program is an effort to bring in professionals from the museum world to address timely and relevant issues, and would benefit both students and faculty.
Were more and more in a digital age where we preserve and save images in a digital manner, she said. Students could bring away a greater philosophy and management of working with digital images.
The spoken and visual presentation is free, and will last about an hour, Helou said.
Planetarium offers insight into night sky
Abrams Planetarium is offering an opportunity to journey into the night sky.
The general show, Orion Rendezvous, invites viewers to travel through a wormhole to a planetary nebula, using the Digistar technology to simulate motion.
Shows are running at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 4 p.m. Sundays. A family show, recommended for small children, runs at 2:30 p.m. Sundays.
Its as if you can actually feel the motion, planetarium spokeswoman Mary Gowans said. Its a great way to spend your time, and its not expensive.
Admission prices are $3 for adults, $2.50 for students and seniors, and $2 for children 12 and under.
The Observatory also will be offering free public observing nights March 22 and 23.

Its really worth going, Gowans said. Without a telescope, you cant see the moons of Jupiter, which are always moving. Its the neatest thing.
