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  \n  \nTickets for planetarium programs are $7 for Adults\, $6 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $5 for children under 12.

SUMMARY:Secrets of the Universe
DESCRIPTION:Travel with scientist Manuel Calderon De La Barca Sanchez as he journeys to the largest machine ever built\, the greatest scientific instrument ever created\, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). \nThere\, he joins a global team working to uncover another amazing breakthrough in this new world of technology-driven physics. We get an inside look at the machine and come to understand just what it means to do science\, teaming up for the flag of humanity to solve the universe’s greatest mysteries. \nWe don’t stop with the Large Hadron Collider\, though. The machines we’ve built are as diverse as the secrets we’re looking for\, and the people looking for them. We travel to the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Observatory (LIGO)\, the amazing project that recently confirmed Einstein’s century old prediction of the existence of gravitational waves. \nHumanity is at the edge of unprecedented scientific discovery\, and we can all be a part of it! \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.
