April 18, 7:00pm: Science Lecture
April 22, 2:00pm: Dynamic Earth Explore the inner workings of Earth’s climate system with visualizations based on satellite monitoring data and advanced supercomputer simulations. This exciting program follows a trail of energy that flows from the Sun into the interlocking systems that shape our climate: the atmosphere, oceans, and the biosphere. Audiences will ride along on swirling ocean and wind currents, dive into the heart of a monster hurricane, come face-to-face with sharks and gigantic whales, and fly into roiling volcanoes. We explore the relationship between Earth and the Sun, life and the carbon cycle, Earth’s climate control system, and how human activities are changing our planet. Come learn how dynamic planet Earth really is!
Fridays (April 5, 12, 19, and 26) 7:00pm: Habitat Earth Living networks connect and support all life forms – from colonies of tiny microbes and populations of massive whales to ever-expanding human societies. Discover how all species on our planet are interconnected and important to sustaining our living world. Dive below the ocean’s surface, travel beneath the forest floor, and journey to new heights to witness the intricate intersection between human and ecological networks in Habitat Earth.
Sundays (April 7,14, 21 and 28), 2pm: Life of Trees Join a cheeky ladybug called Dolores and a quirky firefly called Mike on a journey of exploration into the wondrous world of trees. How do trees get their food from the Sun? How do they grow? And how does all this make life on our earth possible? A perfect planetarium show for the whole family about our natural environment and its importance to life here on Earth.
$6 for Adults, $5 for UMaine Students/Senior Citizens, $4 for children 12 and under.
