SUMMARY:Two Small Pieces of Glass
DESCRIPTION:Two Small Pieces of Glass follows two students as they interact with a female astronomer at a local star party. Along the way students learn how telescopes work\, traces the history of the telescope from Galileo’s modifications to a child’s spyglass — using two small pieces of glass — to the launch of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the future of astronomy. It explores the wonder and discovery made by astronomers throughout the last 400 years. The program features a soundtrack recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra and a live tour of the night sky. \nTrailer \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:Earth\, Moon\, & 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.

SUMMARY:Science Lecture Series: Dr. Elizabeth McGrath
DESCRIPTION:A Walk Among Giants: Building the Largest Galaxies in the Universe!\nThursday\, September 1 at 7:00 pm \n\nDr. Elizabeth McGrath will kick off our new Science Lecture Series here at the planetarium with her presentation on galaxies and how these objects help us understand the universe we live in.  She serves as the Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Colby College.  Dr. McGrath did her Ph. D. at the University of Hawaii focusing on the formation and evolution of massive galaxies and active galactic nuclei in the early universe.  She is a leader in the CANDELS survey on the Hubble Space Telescope and helping define the science goals for the planned Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. \nDr. McGrath’s presentation will explore how the study of very massive galaxies is helping us understand key astrophysical questions about our universe.  Looking at how matter and radiation interact during energetic events such as star formation\, galaxy collisions\, and the formation of supermassive black holes help answer these questions\, and the next generation of telescopes will help in our observation and understanding of the origins of the universe. \n \nThe Science Lecture Series at Emera Astronomy Center will take place the first Thursdays 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. \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:Dark
DESCRIPTION:The search for Dark Matter is the most pressing astrophysical problem of our time – the solution to which will help us understand why the Universe is as it is\, where it came from\, and how it has evolved over billions of years – the unimaginable depths of deep time\, of which a human life is but a flickering instant. \nBut in that instant\, we can grasp its immensity and\, through science\, we can attempt to understand it. \nTrailer \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12.

SUMMARY:Science Lecture Series: Dr. Caitlin Howell
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking the Secrets of Proteins: The Rise of Cryo Electron Microscopy\nThursday\, October 6 at 7:00 pm \nProteins are an essential component of all living things\, allowing us to grow\, breathe\, eat\, and even sense our surroundings. However\, understanding how proteins are shaped and how they work can be one of the most elusive questions in molecular biology. Join us as we explore the mystery of protein structures\, and use the latest state-of-the-art technology: Cryo Electron Microscopy to unlock their secrets. Using dramatic full dome visuals and real-time models we will look at protein structures discovered by Cryo EM in new ways. The importance of knowing protein structures for both curing disease and creating new technologies will be discussed. \n \nDr. Caitlin Howell is a professor of Bioengineering in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering at the University of Maine. She completed her Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow at the University of Heidelberg in Germany under the direction of Prof. Michael Grunze\, and her postdoc in Materials Science as a Technology Development Fellow with Joanna Aizenberg at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. At the University of Maine\, Dr. Howell and her group work to understand and ultimately control biological systems through the engineering and design of material interfaces. \n \nThe Science Lecture Series at Emera Astronomy Center will take place the first Thursdays 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. \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: Chuck Carter
DESCRIPTION:Art and Science: Visualizing Complex Ideas for Everyone\nThursday\, November 3rd at 7:00 pm \nWhere do science visualizations come from?  What is the process of taking a complex idea and making an image that aids in our understanding?  Chuck Carter who designs video games (such as the game MYST) and VR experiences is an accomplished science illustrator. His artwork for National Geographic\, NASA and Scientific American has helped make science accessible for everyone. He will talk about his process when making images and visualizations\, showing how he breaks down complex ideas into easy to understand illustrations.  His talk will feature a variety of immersive examples of his work discussing how digital tools changed the way he works and what explore how immersive visualization will play an important role in our future as we move into Virtual and Augmented Reality. \n \nChuck Carter has been doing art and animation on a computer for 30 years.
