SUMMARY:Lucia: The Secret of Shooting Stars
DESCRIPTION:Vladimir\, a polar bear\, and James\, a penguin\, travel into space aboard the Polaris to study polar auroras.  Hit by a meteorite\, they crash at the foot of a pre-Columbian pyramid and meet Lucia\, a hummingbird who is passionate about rocks. She tells them about a legend evoking “stones of light”.  Meteorites\, shooting stars\, these “stones of light” intrigue them all.  Searching for answers\, they board for the Moon\, then the asteroid belt\, and finally land on a comet nucleus.  Observations and analyses will allow them to find answers to their questions about these objects and learn about the origin of the solar system. \nWatch the trailer here! \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:Life of Trees
DESCRIPTION:In The Life of Trees a cheeky ladybug called Dolores and a quirky firefly called Mike take the audience on an adventurous journey of exploration into the wondrous world of trees. Attend the Creepy Crawlies Educational Institution to find out how trees live and their importance to the wider environment. \nOn the excursion Delores and Mike zip around a tree\, and in doing so\, playfully learn its secrets: How do plants get their food from the Sun? How do they grow? How does water get from the roots to the top of the crown? And how does all this make life on our earth possible? \nThe Life of Trees is a perfect planetarium show for the whole family that raises the awareness of protecting the natural environment in which we live. \nWatch the trailer here! \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:Chemistry of Life: The Invisible Inside
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes it’s the smallest things that matter the most. Join us on a journey into a seemingly invisible world – the world of molecules and nanoparticles. What does the cell structure of a leaf look like? What might the neural network in our brain be like and how do cells communicate with each other? \nModern scientific visualizations provide an insight into how biochemical processes take place in our bodies\, how they connect us with all other living things on Earth\, and what their cosmic origin is.  Embark on an extraordinary journey into our “inner universe”. For ages 13 and up. \nWatch the trailer here! \n  \n\n  \nTickets for planetarium programs are $7 for Adults\, $6 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $5 for children under 12.

SUMMARY:The Wall - Pink Floyd
DESCRIPTION:Pink Floyd’s progressive 8th album is put to stunning visuals that will send you to the moon. The album remained on Billboard charts for an amazing 741 weeks\, longer than any other record in history. Experience “The Wall” like never before. The character Pink is the world-weary focus of this concept album as he slowly isolates himself from society\, represented by the metaphorical “Wall” of the album title. Rock out with this all time classic album! \nTickets are $9 for general admission. \nMusic programs may contain explicit lyrics\, and are intended for adult audiences. All music programs may contain bright flashing lights and fast-moving images\, which have been known to trigger seizures with those with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised. \nTickets may be purchased online\, by phone at 207.581.1341\, or at our ticket box office prior to the show.

SUMMARY:Mayan Archeoastronomy: Observers of the Universe
DESCRIPTION:The night is an eye\, both dark and bright!  It forces us to look up and ask ourselves questions about our place in the Cosmos\, our origins\, and what is beyond the horizon.  Using spectacular visuals and stunning sound\, audiences tour six ancient Mayan temples: San Gervasio\, Chichen Itzá\, Uxmal\, Edzna\, Palenque\, and Bonampak. Along the way they dive into Mayan knowledge of the sky exploring the movement of the Sun\, the Moon and Venus. Find Balam the Jaguar constellation and explore how the Mayan’s created a calendar more accurate than the one we use in modern times. Journey back in time to explore how The Mayan’s used the sky to understand their world and their place in it! \n  \n\n  \nTickets for planetarium programs are $7 for Adults\, $6 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $5 for children under 12.
