SUMMARY:Earth\, Moon\, and Sun with Skywatcher Special Event
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 \nFollowing the show\, join Maine author and illustrator Jamie Hogan for a reading and signing of her new book children’s book SKYWATCHER at the planetarium! \nSKYWATCHER celebrates the beauty of our night skies and invites families to enjoy and appreciate nature at its best. Hogan’s story showcases the bond between mother and son and the discoveries that come with adventure\, while asking readers to consider dark nights as our window on the universe and seeing beyond ourselves. \nJamie Hogan is an award-winning illustrator and educator. Her illustrations have appeared in numerous books and magazines.

SUMMARY:Black Holes\, and Searching for Life on Mars
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 \nFollowing the show\, guest lecturer Dr. Henning Haack will be giving a presentation on the geology of Mars\, and the search for prior life. \nSearching for Life on Mars\nNASAs latest rover Perseverance and its reconnaissance helicopter\, Ingenuity\, have explored an ancient crater lake on Mars for over a year now. It is heading for a large river delta\, at the edge of the crater lake\, where life may have thrived when mars was warmer and wetter. Henning Haack will talk about the rovers discoveries during the past year and the plans for the coming years when the rover arrives at the delta. Visitors will be able to look at actual rocks from Mars from the Maine Mineral and Gem meteorite collection. \n  \n \nHenning Haack received his PhD in Geophysics from the University of Copenhagen\, and did postdoc work at the Planetary Geosciences division at the University of Hawaii and at the Institute of Physics in Odense. He has served as an Associate Research Professor at the Danish Center for Remote Sensing and curator for the Geological Museum at the University of Copenhagen. He has searched for meteorites in numerous locations including the Antarctica\, Cape York\, and the blue ice fields in Greenland. He has received a number of honors including the University of Copenhagen’s Gold Medal\, The United States Congress Antarctic Service Medal\, and has an asteroid named in his honor (Asteroid 7005 –Hennighaack). He currently is an Associate Researcher at the Maine Mineral and Gem Museum in Bethel and teaches at ScienceTalents in Denmark. \n  \n\n  \nTickets for planetarium programs are $7 for Adults\, $6 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $5 for children under 12.
