SUMMARY:To Space and Back
DESCRIPTION:Space exploration\, our greatest adventure\, is having a big impact on our lives. It is helping us to discover a universe of unimaginable scale and beauty\, and it is reaching down into our world and influencing the way we live.\nTo Space & Back takes audiences on an incredible journey from the far reaches of our known universe to our own planet. It is an extraordinary story of human ingenuity and incredible engineering\, describing how the technology that transports us through space is paving the way for the devices and apps we use every day. What is happening above is coming back down to Earth! \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:Black Holes
DESCRIPTION:The attraction of Black Holes is more than just gravitational. These mysterious graveyards of dead stars have fascinated generations. “Black Holes” explores the history\, physics\, and mystery of these reality-bending phenomena. Experience the bending of light\, the skewing of perception\, and the dizzying descent into a black hole. \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. 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.
