SUMMARY:Faster Than Light
DESCRIPTION:The impulse to strike out into the unknown\, to see what’s over the horizon… is as old as humanity. Today\, a whole new horizon beckons.  Astronomers are racing to find habitable worlds\, including any that might exist in the neighborhood of our Sun. But if we find one\, how will we ever get there? How long will it take? What rocket designs might one day conquer the voids of space? Take a virtual ride aboard spacecraft of the future based on whole new technologies designed to achieve ultra‐high speeds\, which might provide ways to travel to new worlds. \nWatch the trailer here! \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12. Click here to view our calendar. \nTickets may be purchased online\, by phone at 207.581.1341\, or at our ticket box office prior to the show.

SUMMARY:Cosmic Recipe
DESCRIPTION:The famous astronomer Carl Sagan once said: “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch\, you must first invent the universe.”  Though that may sound crazy\, Sagan was onto something BIG! Want to know what? Pull up a chair at our Planetarium’s Periodic Table and learn the cosmic recipes that created everything in our world – even us!   Discover how the Big Bang cooked up everyday elements such as the calcium in our teeth\, the silicon in our smart phones\, and even the carbon in our apple pies in The Cosmic Recipe. \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12.

SUMMARY:Expedition Reef
DESCRIPTION:Explore the secrets of the “rainforests of the sea” and embark on an oceanic safari to the world’s most vibrant and endangered marine ecosystems – coral reefs.  Discover how corals grow\, feed\, reproduce\, and support over 25% of all marine life on Earth — while facing unprecedented threats from climate change\, habitat destruction\, and overfishing.  Although they line about a third of tropical coastlines\, reefs comprise less than one percent of the world’s ocean environments\, showing how precious and fragile these systems are.  Thousands of tropical fish and colorful corals thrive in one of the largest and deepest indoor displays of living corals.  Narrated by Tony Award® winner Lea Salonga\, Expedition Reef will immerse audiences in an undersea adventure. This fulldome planetarium show provides an up-close look at a part of our planet many people have never experienced. \nWatch the trailer here. \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12. Click here to view our calendar. \nTickets may be purchased online\, by phone at 207.581.1341\, or at our ticket box office prior to the show.

SUMMARY:Science Lecture Series: Dr. Lauren Ross
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lauren Ross\nHarnessing the power of the ocean currents\n\n\n\nThursday\, February 21 at 7:00 pm \n\n\n\nHow can we use currents to generate sustainable energy?  What are the environmental impacts of doing so? Explore how tidal turbines can optimize energy extraction and understand how coastal environmental conditions are affected by the long-term implementation of tidal turbines. Learn how this research consider both the optimization of tidal turbine arrays and their impact on the environment which can be applied to tidal estuaries in Maine and the tidal energy potential to create sustainable power. \n  \nDr. Lauren Ross is an assistant professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Maine. She holds a BS from the University of North Florida in Mathematics\, an MS from San Diego State University in Applied Mathematics and a PhD from the University of Florida in Coastal and Oceanographic Engineering. Her research involves understanding tidal processes in estuarine and coastal environments. Lauren’s research areas range from the fjords of Chilean Patagonia to the hyper-turbid estuaries of western Europe. She has helped industrial partners in Europe to determine optimal locations for tidal turbines in estuaries and understand how these turbines will alter the surrounding marine environment prior to implementation.  \n \nThe Science Lecture Series at Emera Astronomy Center will take place the third Thursday of each month and is a partnership project with the Maine Science Festival and will feature research from a variety of science disciplines from around our state and use the digital planetarium to visualize these discoveries in a new dramatic and immersive way. \nSeason passes are available for the entire October 2018 – April 2019 Science Lecture Series for $30 for adults\, and $20 for children under 12. They can be purchased by calling 581-1341\, or by inquiring at the box office. \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12.

SUMMARY:Cell! Cell! Cell!
DESCRIPTION:You are made of 70 trillion living cells. They work. They talk. They think. They are what make you alive. This is the story of the trillions of cells that form our bodies\, from our beginnings as a single cell to the complexity of a whole body: it’s the story of who we are. Join Raj and Sooki on a totally ex-CELL-ent immersive journey. Get shrunk down by the Shrink-a-tron\, go back in time with the Retroscope and see an exploded view of all the body systems courtesy of the Cell-o-tron. Find out how cool cells really are! \nTrailer \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12.

SUMMARY:Faster Than Light with Guest Speaker Dr. Neil Comins
DESCRIPTION:Book Signing with Dr. Neil Comins \n  \n\n\n\nThe Traveler’s Guide to Space:\nFor One-Way Settlers and Round Trip Tourists\nHazards of Space Travel:\nA Traveler’s Guide\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Neil F. Comins is a professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Maine. He earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering physics at Cornell University\, a master’s degree in physics at the University of Maryland\, and a Ph.D. in astrophysics from University College\, Cardiff\, Wales. He has done theoretical and experimental research in general relativity\, optical and radio observational astronomy\, computer simulations of galaxy evolution\, and science education. He is also the author of numerous books – two of which will be highlighted at the signing The Hazards of Space Travel and The Traveler’s Guide to Space: For One-Way Settlers and Round Trip Tourists. \nDr. Comins will be doing a short presentation in the planetarium following Faster than Light\, with the book signings to follow the program. \n  \n  \n \nFaster than Light \nThe impulse to strike out into the unknown\, to see what’s over the horizon… is as old as humanity. Today\, a whole new horizon beckons.  Astronomers are racing to find habitable worlds\, including any that might exist in the neighborhood of our Sun. But if we find one\, how will we ever get there? How long will it take? What rocket designs might one day conquer the voids of space? Take a virtual ride aboard spacecraft of the future based on whole new technologies designed to achieve ultra‐high speeds\, which might provide ways to travel to new worlds. \nWatch the trailer here! \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12.

SUMMARY:Earth\, Moon\, and Sun
DESCRIPTION:Earth\, Moon\, & Sun is a fast-paced full dome demonstration of lunar phases\, eclipses\, day and night\, the sun and other puzzling events with the help of a confused coyote. This program beautifully illustrates basic concepts like moon phases and seasons. Based on the trickster of Native American lore\, Coyote is constantly corrected in his misunderstandings of how things work. A live tour of the Maine sky and its beautiful constellations completes this micro-unit of astronomy. \nTrailer \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12.
