SUMMARY:Discover the Sky with Galileo
DESCRIPTION:In ancient times\, Greek astronomers understood that planets are not like the stars\, because they move in a different way in our skies. Why do they move the way they do? What are they made of? And what about the Moon? Is it really a perfect object with a smooth surface? To answer these questions\, we have the need to give a closer look to the sky using something that can make our sight sharper and deeper. It’s from this need that our story begins. \n  \n \n  \nThis is a special presentation from Ms. Elena Lazzaretto. Ms. Lazzaretto began her career as Scientific Communicator with the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (www.inaf.it) and began working at the Planetarium of Padova in 2011 where she is the planetarium astronomer and an educator with extensive knowledge about full-dome live show scripting\, computer graphics\, sound design and event organization. She is also a Freelance Scientific Communicator and teaches Math and Physics at High Schools in Padova\, Italy. \n  \n\n  \nTickets for planetarium programs are $7 for Adults\, $6 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $5 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:From Galileo to JWST: Uncovering the Universe
DESCRIPTION:From Galileo’s simple telescopes in the 17th century to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) launched in 2021\, each new generation of telescopes has brought us closer to unlocking the mysteries of the cosmos. These amazing instruments have played a critical role in our understanding of our place in the universe. From the discovery of the moons of Jupiter by Galileo to the incredible images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope\, each new generation of telescopes has expanded our knowledge of the sky above. \n  \nJoin Elena Lazzaretto\, planetarium astronomer from Planetario di Padova and Shawn Laatsch\, Director of the Versant Power Astronomy Center as they share a bit about the journey from Galileo to JWST and reveal one of the most recent JWST images. \n  \n\n  \nTickets for planetarium programs are $7 for Adults\, $6 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $5 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.
