IN MEMORIAM
Samuel C. JohnSon Family Star theater The Adler Planetarium is grateful for the leadership of Imogene Powers Johnson and her family. Mrs. Johnson developed a passion for astronomy early in her life and during her studies at Cornell University. She has shared her love of observing with her children and grandchildren, and has supported initiatives in Racine, Wisconsin, and at the Adler that engage children in the wonder of the night sky.
As part of the recently concluded Lift-Off! Campaign, the Johnson Family Foundation made an extraordinary commitment to the renovation of the Adler’s 3D Universe Theater and its surrounding galleries. In addition to offering museum visitors thrilling shows, the restored theater will host conferences, live performances and lectures by world-class scientists. The 40th Anniversary of the Apollo XVII mission is the inaugural event in the Samuel C. Johnson Family Star Theater.
The Adler Planetarium is honored to recognize Imogene Powers Johnson and the Johnson Family for their commitment to inspiring the next generation of explorers.
Above: The Samuel C. Johnson Family Star Theater and its adjacent galleries will incorporate the fascinating science of star formation, and evoke the beauty of the night sky. Pictured here from the Adler Collections is the constellation Orion as depicted by Johann Bayer in 1661.
