SUMMARY:Lucia: The Secret of Shooting Stars
DESCRIPTION:Vladimir\, a polar bear\, and James\, a penguin\, travel into space aboard the Polaris to study polar auroras.  Hit by a meteorite\, they crash at the foot of a pre-Columbian pyramid and meet Lucia\, a hummingbird who is passionate about rocks. She tells them about a legend evoking “stones of light”.  Meteorites\, shooting stars\, these “stones of light” intrigue them all.  Searching for answers\, they board for the Moon\, then the asteroid belt\, and finally land on a comet nucleus.  Observations and analyses will allow them to find answers to their questions about these objects and learn about the origin of the solar system. \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:The Little Star That Could
DESCRIPTION:It’s hard to be a little star in a big universe! Join a medium sized\, yellow star as he makes his way through space. In his travels\, he meets many different types of stars and learns about some of the other things that make our universe so interesting. After meeting stars\, nebulas\, and galaxies\, the little star takes a good look at himself and finds that he\, too\, is special. He has nine planets that depend on him for warmth and light. Along with the little star\, audiences learn the ways each planet is special. \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12.

SUMMARY:Earth\, Moon\, and 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.
