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.

SUMMARY:The Stellars: Mission Green
DESCRIPTION:Imani\, Aki\, and John are three friends from an alien solar system. While on a space exploration mission\, something routine for their tribe\, they distractedly neglect their onboard “chores\,” leading their ship to crash on an unknown planet – Earth. The accident damages the life-support system that sustains the cherished forest they keep onboard\, which gives them their vital Yumi-Plumi fruits. However\, forests in their society are usually taken care of by robots. \nWith no knowledge of plant care or any means of contacting their elders\, they are fortunate to be able to turn to the planetarium audience for help. All hope now rests on the Earth children\, who help the Stellars discover what plants need to survive and to rescue their Yumi Plumi forest. There is a race against time – will the children be able to figure out the successive elements needed to nourish the plants? \nOf course\, they will\, as we’ve prepared subtle clues\, ensuring that everyone will be winners. However\, to make sure it won’t be too easy\, young viewers will have to travel together with our heroes to visit an ancient-growth forest on Earth\, to search among the trees there\, teeming with life. They will have to help launch the scout ship\, navigate through space\, locate the right spot on Earth – and then escape from an angry bear! \nWatch the trailer here! \n  \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.

SUMMARY:SPARK: The Universe in Us

Discover the celestial origins of the elements we all have in common. Along the way\, you’ll enter the core of a giant star just before it implodes\, experience the quiet demise of a star like the Sun\, and see how colliding stars seed the Universe with the building blocks of life.
