SUMMARY:The Dark Matter Mystery: Exploring a Cosmic Secret
DESCRIPTION:What keeps Galaxies together? What are the building blocks of the Universe? What makes the Universe look the way it looks today? Researchers all around the world try to answer these questions. We know today that approximately a quarter of the Universe is filled with a mysterious glue: Dark Matter. We know that it is out there. But we have no idea what it is made out of. \nThis planetarium show takes you on the biggest quest of contemporary astrophysics. You will see why we know that Dark Matter exists\, and how this search is one of the most challenging and exciting searches science has to offer. Join the scientists on their hunt for Dark Matter with experiments in space and deep underground. Will they be able to solve the Dark Matter Mystery? \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: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.
