SUMMARY:Dark Side of the Moon: 50 Years in a Heartbeat
DESCRIPTION:Pink Floyd’s iconic album The Dark Side Of The Moon\, originally released in March 1973\, turns 50\, and what more fitting a place to celebrate it and experience it than in a Planetarium\, through the music set to visuals? With the help of modern technology\, the idea of a show combining breath-taking views of the solar system and beyond\, played out to 42 minutes of The Dark Side Of The Moon in surround sound\, has been embraced by the band. NSC Creative have led the visual production efforts\, working closely with Pink Floyd’s long time creative collaborator Aubrey Powell from Hipgnosis. \nEach song has a different theme; some futuristically looking forward and some a retro acknowledgment to Pink Floyd’s visual history\, all relating to a time and space experience\, embracing up to the minute technology that only a Planetarium can offer. A truly immersive and all-encompassing surround sound and visual treat that will transcend reality and take you way beyond the realms of 2D experience. \nTickets are $9 for general admission. \nMusic programs may contain explicit lyrics\, and are intended for adult audiences. All music programs may contain bright flashing lights and fast-moving images\, which have been known to trigger seizures with those with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised. \nTickets may be purchased online\, by phone at 207.581.1341\, or at our ticket box office prior to the show.

SUMMARY:Expedition Reef
DESCRIPTION:Explore the secrets of the “rainforests of the sea” and embark on an oceanic safari to the world’s most vibrant and endangered marine ecosystems – coral reefs.  Discover how corals grow\, feed\, reproduce\, and support over 25% of all marine life on Earth — while facing unprecedented threats from climate change\, habitat destruction\, and overfishing.  Although they line about a third of tropical coastlines\, reefs comprise less than one percent of the world’s ocean environments\, showing how precious and fragile these systems are.  Thousands of tropical fish and colorful corals thrive in one of the largest and deepest indoor displays of living corals.  Narrated by Tony Award® winner Lea Salonga\, Expedition Reef will immerse audiences in an undersea adventure. This fulldome planetarium show provides an up-close look at a part of our planet many people have never experienced. \nWatch the trailer here. \n  \n\nTickets for planetarium programs are $7 for Adults\, $6 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $5 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.
