SUMMARY:Science Lecture Series: Dr. Neil Comins
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Neil Comins\nWhat If the Moon Didn’t Exist\n\n\n\nThursday\, October 14 at 7:00 pm \n\n\n\n  \nThe Moon is a vibrant part of our lives and has been celebrated for centuries in art\, literature and of course science.  We find it easily at night and if we look hard enough\, also during the day.  Most people have learned that it contributes to our tides and that it has been the goal of spaceflights since the late 1950s.  What would the Earth be like today if the Moon had never existed?  Certainly\, the tides would be different (yes\, they would still be here) and we wouldn’t have the Moon’s light to help illuminate the night.  But those are only the tip of the metaphorical iceberg.  Indeed\, the changes to Earth and life without a Moon are “breathtaking.”  Join Dr. Neil F Comins as he takes us on a virtual trip to the Moon to explore it and its importance to humanity. \n  \n   \n  \n  \nDr. Neil F Comins is professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Maine\, Orono.  He teaches classes ranging from introductory astronomy to general relativity.  He is the author of 21 astronomy trade and textbooks.  His book What if the Moon didn’t exist? has been the basis of planetarium\, radio\, TV\, and theater shows around the world. It was the theme of Mitsubishi’s pavilion at the 2005 World Expo.  His research in general relativity was cited in Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar’s 1983 Nobel Prize lecture.  For the past 17 years he has been a cartoon character in Japan. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThe Science Lecture Series at Versant Power Astronomy Center will take place on 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 $7 for Adults\, $6 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $5 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.

SUMMARY:Science Lecture Series: Dr. Seth Campbell
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Seth Campbell\nEyes on the Arctic: Global Connections to the Icy North\n\n\n\nThursday\, November 11 at 7:00 pm \n\n\n\n  \n\nWhether you know it or not\, the Arctic impacts nearly every living creature across the planet. This vast web of icy mountains\, glaciers\, tundra\, oceans\, and ecosystems each play a vital role in global Earth system processes. Dr. Seth Campbell will tell this tale through his eyes as a past participant on over two dozen expeditions into the icy North. This includes such stories as climbing to the summit of the highest peak in North America and as Director of the nationally renowned Juneau Icefield Research Program. \n  \n  \n  \nDr. Seth Campbell is an Assistant Professor of glaciology at the University of Maine Climate Change Institute and School of Earth & Climate Sciences.  He is Director of the longest operating Polar field research and training program in North America\, the Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP).  Seth also holds an intermittent research geophysicist role with the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research & Engineering Laboratory where he works on occasional Polar projects of national interest.  Seth has participated in over 60 research expeditions across the planet focused on quantifying Polar environmental change and relating those changes to human impacts.  At UMaine and JIRP\, Seth focuses on building Earth and planetary science research collaborations while also inspiring the next generation of Polar scientists\, engineers\, educators\, and others who are interested in the natural world. \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThe Science Lecture Series at Versant Power Astronomy Center will take place on 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 $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. 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:JWST Extravaganza
DESCRIPTION:Join us to prepare for the launch of NASA’s next “Great Observatory”! \nSpecial guest speaker\, Dr. Carter Emmart\, Director of Astro-Visualization at Hayden Planetarium AMNH will remotely “pilot” our planetarium to show the launch and deployment of JWST in stunning detail. \nBuild a paper model of the telescope and see how NASA uses “origami” principals to make large spacecraft fold up into small packages for launch. \nWatch a special planetarium program exploring how JWST was designed\, built and tested – the engineering process – behind this space telescope. A great Saturday family activity! \nTickets are $8 a person. Tickets may be purchased in advance online\, by phone at (207) 581-1341\, or at the ticket box office prior to the show. \n

SUMMARY:The Wall - Pink Floyd
DESCRIPTION:Pink Floyd’s progressive 8th album is put to stunning visuals that will send you to the moon. The album remained on Billboard charts for an amazing 741 weeks\, longer than any other record in history. Experience “The Wall” like never before. The character Pink is the world-weary focus of this concept album as he slowly isolates himself from society\, represented by the metaphorical “Wall” of the album title. Rock out with this all time classic album! \nTickets are $9 for general admission. \nMusic programs may contain explicit lyrics\, and are intended for adult audiences. All music programs may contain bright flashing lights and fast-moving images\, which have been known to trigger seizures with those with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised. \nTickets may be purchased online\, by phone at 207.581.1341\, or at our ticket box office prior to the show.
