SUMMARY:Cell! Cell! Cell!
DESCRIPTION:You are made of 70 trillion living cells. They work. They talk. They think. They are what make you alive. This is the story of the trillions of cells that form our bodies\, from our beginnings as a single cell to the complexity of a whole body: it’s the story of who we are. Join Raj and Sooki on a totally ex-CELL-ent immersive journey. Get shrunk down by the Shrink-a-tron\, go back in time with the Retroscope and see an exploded view of all the body systems courtesy of the Cell-o-tron. Find out how cool cells really are! \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:Phantom of the Universe
DESCRIPTION:From the journey of protons racing through the world’s largest particle collider to up-close views of the Big Bang and emergent universe\, and the nearly mile-deep descent to an underground experiment\, Phantom of the Universe immerses audiences in the search for dark matter. Explore this mysterious matter and how we are using discoveries at the Large Hadron Collider to get closer to discovering the true nature of Dark Matter. View the first hints of its existence through the eyes of Fritz Zwicky\, the scientist who coined the term “dark matter.” Explore the astral choreography witnessed by Vera Rubin in the Andromeda galaxy\, and then plummet deep underground to see the most sensitive dark matter detector on Earth\, housed in a former gold mine.  Speed alongside particles before they collide in visually stunning explosions of light and sound at Large Hadron Collider at CERN\, while learning how scientists around the world are collaborating to track down the constituents of dark matter. Executive Producer Michael Barnett of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory served as an advisor to PBS’s NOVA series Elegant Universe and the feature film Angels & Demons. Featuring narration by Academy-Award winning actress Tilda Swinton\, Phantom of the Universe showcases imagery from CERN’s Media Lab. \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 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. \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12.

SUMMARY:Space Aliens: Looking for Life in the Universe
DESCRIPTION:One of the oldest question’s humans have asked since looking at the sky has been if life exists beyond our planet.  Follow cosmic clues from the ocean floor to a journey across the galaxy!  What might extremophiles here on Earth tell us about the ability of life to thrive in other locations in our universe?   Learn how new discoveries of exoplanets and water in our own solar system plays into this cosmic quest for other life forms beyond Earth.  Find out how scientist are using new tools to look for places where life might be possible in our own galaxy. \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. Sam Hess
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sam Hess\nSuper-Resolution Microscopy:\nIlluminating Biological Functions to Cure Disease\n\n\n\nThursday\, September 12 at 7:00 pm \n\n\n\n\nNew methods of imaging individual molecules are providing exceptional insight into a variety of diseases. Resolution in microscopes is typically limited by diffraction\, but in 2006\, three new techniques were invented which could break these limitations allowing imaging of individual florescent molecules. Explore one of these techniques called FPALM developed by Dr. Sam Hess and see how he is using this method to take an unprecedented look at influenza\, muscular dystrophy\, and the immune system\, and how imaging these at the molecular level may provide ways to fight disease and improve human health. \n \nSam Hess is professor of physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Maine. After graduating from Old Town High School in 1991\, Sam earned a B.S. from Yale University in 1995\, and a Ph.D. from Cornell University in 2002. Sam explored biological membranes and viral infection during a postdoc at NIH. He published the method Fluorescence Photoactivation Localization Microscopy (FPALM)\, which was cited by Science as a “Top Ten Scientific Breakthrough of 2006\,” as “Method of the Year” by Nature Methods in 2008\, and in Nature Milestones in 2009. \n \nThe Science Lecture Series at Emera Astronomy Center will take place the second Thursday 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 are available online at http://astro.umaine.edu\, by calling 581-1341\, or at the box office.
