Earth, Moon, and Sun
Discover how the Earth, moon, and sun create familiar sky patterns in a lively full-dome planetarium program. Guided by Coyote, the trickster figure from Native American stories whose misconceptions are gently corrected, the show explains lunar phases, eclipses, day and night, and the changing seasons. A live, guided look at Maine’s sky caps the experience with standout constellations for a concise astronomy lesson. Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 for UMaine students, veterans, and senior citizens, and $5 for children under 12. Purchase online, by calling 207.581.1341, or at the ticket box office before the show.
