Unseen Earth

What does the Earth look like? Most people imagine a blue planet floating peacefully in space. Surprisingly, this iconic image has been with humanity for only about half a century. Since that transformative moment, our perception of Earth has constantly evolved. In the crystal-clear lenses of satellites, our planet reveals itself in unexpected colors and patterns, delivering enormous amounts of data back to Earth. This show presents the story of how satellite technologies have revolutionized our understanding of our home. We witness Earth not merely as a static blue marble but as a dynamic, ever-changing ecosystem.

Tickets for planetarium programs are $9 for Adults, $8 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens, and $7 for children under 12. Click here to view our calendar.
