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. \n  \n\nTickets for planetarium programs are $7 for Adults\, $6 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $5 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. \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:The Universe Through All Senses
DESCRIPTION:The Universe Through All the Senses \nWhen asked to talk about the universe\, astronomers will describe it to you in a thousand different ways. Starting with the diverse planets of the Solar System\, charming comets\, hot stars\, and ethereal nebulae\, they’ll take you on a journey all the way to galaxies billions of light-years away. Into this mix\, they will throw in a bit of mysterious dark matter\, a few black holes\, a dash of dark energy\, and finish it off with a pinch of strange elementary particles. \nHowever\, for an ordinary Earthling\, such a list of fancy terms feels just like flipping through a cookbook\, without being able to taste the individual ingredients\, let alone the finished product. That’s why we decided to serve you the universe in a completely different way – You will experience it with all your senses! \nDiscover what it feels like to touch the universe\, what a comet or cosmic space smells like\, and even how the Saturn’s moon Enceladus or the planet Mars taste like. Listen to the explosion of a supernova\, the rumbling sounds of the Sun\, and more. See the glow of auroras and vibrant nebulae. This unconventional sensory-packed show is narrated by Jack Stephens. \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.
