SUMMARY:Asteroid: Mission Extreme
DESCRIPTION:Asteroid: Mission Extreme takes audiences on an epic journey to discover how asteroids are both a danger and an opportunity. The danger lies in the possibility of a cataclysmic collision with Earth; the opportunity is the fascinating idea that asteroids could be stepping stones to other worlds – veritable way stations in space – enabling us to cross the Solar System. \nThe challenges are enormous\, but a mission so extreme could ultimately lead us to protect our planet and inhabit others. \nExplore what it would take for astronauts to reach an asteroid and how such an adventure could benefit humankind. \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:Science Lecture Series: Dr. Michaela Reagan
DESCRIPTION:Potential Cancer Cures Leveraging 3D Tissue Engineering and Bone Marrow Models\nThursday\, October 5 at 7:00 pm \nJoin us as we explore new ways to develop 3D models of cancer and bone marrow cells. Experience how fluorescent imaging of cells and biomaterials can bring biomedical research to life. Fly through confocal microscopy images of 3D silk scaffolds supporting bone marrow adipose tissue and cancer cells. Get a better sense of how cells look and act in 3D. Learn about the types of relationships cells have in the bone marrow and how researchers are leveraging these to design new ways of stopping cancer growth. \n  \nDr. Michaela Reagan is a Faculty Scientist at the Maine Medical Center Research Institute\, an Assistant Professor at the Tufts Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences\, and a Graduate Faculty Member at U. Maine in the GSBSE program. She obtained her BS in Engineering from Harvey Mudd College and her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Tufts University. Dr. Reagan performed her post-doctoral fellowship research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard Medical School. Dr. Reagan runs the Bioengineering Core at MMCRI and her research group is focused on developing better 3D in vitro models of cancer in the bone\, designing nanomedicine to target bone cancers\, and elucidating the biological mechanisms behind the interactions of bone cells and tumor cells. Her goal is to make novel discoveries that lead to new therapies that stop cancer disease progression. \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:Mysteries of the Unseen World
DESCRIPTION:Take an extraordinary journey into unseen worlds and hidden dimensions beyond our normal vision to uncover the mysteries of things too fast\, too slow\, too small or simply invisible. What it would be like if we had X-ray vision\, or infrared vision like a mosquito\, how a bee’s eyes see through ultraviolet light?   Peer into the world of wonders too small for the human eye to see – from the minute structures on a butterfly’s wing and the tiny organisms that inhabit the human body all the way down to nano-scale structures. See how electron microscopes create images that magnify things by as much as a million times–revealing a world that is both bizarre and beautiful.  The film\, narrated by Forest Whitaker\, uses innovative high-speed and time-lapse photography\, electron microscopy\, and nanotechnology\, to transport audiences to an enthralling secret world of nature\, events\, and breathtaking phenomena not visible to the naked eye.  Explore the unseen world all around us! \nTrailer \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12.
