SUMMARY:The Universe Through All Senses
DESCRIPTION:The Universe Through All the Senses \nWhen asked to talk about the universe\, astronomers will describe it to you in a thousand different ways. Starting with the diverse planets of the Solar System\, charming comets\, hot stars\, and ethereal nebulae\, they’ll take you on a journey all the way to galaxies billions of light-years away. Into this mix\, they will throw in a bit of mysterious dark matter\, a few black holes\, a dash of dark energy\, and finish it off with a pinch of strange elementary particles. \nHowever\, for an ordinary Earthling\, such a list of fancy terms feels just like flipping through a cookbook\, without being able to taste the individual ingredients\, let alone the finished product. That’s why we decided to serve you the universe in a completely different way – You will experience it with all your senses! \nDiscover what it feels like to touch the universe\, what a comet or cosmic space smells like\, and even how the Saturn’s moon Enceladus or the planet Mars taste like. Listen to the explosion of a supernova\, the rumbling sounds of the Sun\, and more. See the glow of auroras and vibrant nebulae. This unconventional sensory-packed show is narrated by Jack Stephens. \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.
