SUMMARY:Mystery of the Christmas Star
DESCRIPTION:Journey back 2000 years to Bethlehem as we seek to discover a scientific explanation for the Star the wise men followed to find the baby Jesus. Investigate possible dates for the birth of Christ and look at recorded sightings of significant historical and astronomical events during this timeframe. We’ll explore scientific explanations for celestial objects that could have been remarkable enough to cause the wise men to travel across the desert from Babylon to Bethlehem just to see a newborn King. Regardless of what the star was\, the message of Peace on Earth and goodwill to all still rings true today! \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: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.
