SUMMARY:Life of Trees
DESCRIPTION:In The Life of Trees a cheeky ladybug called Dolores and a quirky firefly called Mike take the audience on an adventurous journey of exploration into the wondrous world of trees. Attend the Creepy Crawlies Educational Institution to find out how trees live and their importance to the wider environment.\nOn the excursion Delores and Mike zip around a tree\, and in doing so\, playfully learn its secrets: How do plants get their food from the Sun? How do they grow? How does water get from the roots to the top of the crown? And how does all this make life on our earth possible?\nThe Life of Trees is a perfect planetarium show for the whole family that raises the awareness of protecting the natural environment in which we live. \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: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. Karissa Tilbury
DESCRIPTION:From Lightsabers to Tricorders:\nHarnessing Light for Biomedical Applications\nThursday\, May 4th at 7:00 pm \nLight surrounds us\, but how often do we appreciate the power of light for use as a diagnostic tool? Join us as we explore the possibilities of using small alterations of light as captured by microscopes to aid our human eyes in detection of small alterations.  We will discuss 2-photon microscopy techniques\, an approach that enables high resolution\, 3D data collection. Using the planetarium’s full dome technology\, we will explore and fly through 3-D images of human lung and ovarian tissues to investigate alterations in tissue organization of human disease. \n  \nDr. Karissa Tilbury is an assistant professor of Bioengineering in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. She completed her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering as a Medical Physics Trainee at the University of Wisconsin under the direction of Dr. Paul Campagnola and a postdoc in Biophotonics at Vanderbilt University under the guidance of Dr. Melissa Skala. At the University of Maine\, Dr. Tilbury is continuing her work in 2-photon microscopy techniques to understand the interplay between the extracellular matrix and cellular metabolism. Additionally\, she is actively involved in STEM education at the P-16 levels. \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:Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe
DESCRIPTION:The Hitchhiker’s Guide the Universe is and incredible visual tour of the size and scale of our cosmos! Join planetarium manager  Shawn Laatsch as he host the evening presentation and “flies” participants out into space on a unique and engaging tour through the Universe.  Audience members  will travel to our local planets and their moon systems\, zip through the rings of Saturn\, and explore the asteroids.  We will visit other star systems\, explore nebulae and go far beyond to star clusters and other areas of our Milky Way galaxy.   Traveling beyond the Milky Way\, the journey will continue into inter galactic space exploring our local group of galaxies\, the Virgo cluster of galaxies\, and to the farthest edge of the Universe.  Feel as if you are “jumping off the Earth” as you voyage through time and space! \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.
