SUMMARY:Polaris: Mystery of the Polar Night
DESCRIPTION:A traveling penguin from the South Pole and a funny polar bear from the North pole meet on arctic sea ice.  They become friends observing the night sky together and wondering why night is so long at the poles of the Earth. This mystery leads them on a scientific adventure by building an improvised spaceship to travel around the Earth to learn about seasons\, visit Mars and Saturn to learn about ice in the solar system and how planets have similarities and differences which make them unique. \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. \n \n

SUMMARY:Totality: Explore the Wonder of Eclipses
DESCRIPTION:Explore the incredible phenomena of Eclipses\, both Lunar and Solar. How and why do they occur?  What can we observe and learn from these spectacular displays of nature? Take a look at how eclipses helped prove the theory of general relativity and look forward to upcoming eclipses learning where to see them. From spectacular space environments to the very human experiences that happen when you are caught in the shadow of the Moon and the Sun is plunged into a total solar eclipse\, this program will help you understand these fascinating events.  Take a special look at the August 21\, 2017 Total Solar Eclipse and future ones visible here in Maine.  The program includes a tour of the night sky as viewed from Maine! \nTrailer \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12.

SUMMARY:Solar Eclipse
DESCRIPTION:While here in Maine we will be unable to see a total solar eclipse\, we will be able to see about 60% of the sun’s disk covered by the moon. These events are very rare to see without travel\, so make sure to mark it on your calendar. The eclipse begins at approximately 1:35 pm\, and ends at approximately 3:55 pm. We will be hosting a free eclipse viewing event here at the Astronomy Center from 1:00 to 4:00 where we will have special solar telescopes\, sun spotters\, and special eclipse viewing glasses. Our staff will be on hand to explain the phenomena and help everyone see it safely. \nUnfortunately\, this event is WEATHER DEPENDENT\, so if the sky is cloudy we will not be able to see it. NASA and many other organizations will be doing their own streaming events that you can watch online. \nSince the moon will not cover the entire sun from our vantage point in Maine\, it is very important to not look directly at it at any point\, as even a brief glimpse can cause severe eye damage. Special glasses/equipment are needed to protect your eyes. Normal sunglasses are not enough! \nTo celebrate the eclipse\, the public show each Friday night for the month of August is Totality: Explore the Wonder of Eclipses. We also offer two additional showings the morning of the eclipse at 10:00 and 11:30 to prepare for the event. You can buy tickets to these shows online\, over the phone\, or at the door.
