SUMMARY:Stars Over Schoodic
DESCRIPTION:As darkness falls over the Schoodic Peninsula\, the Milky Way arches across the sky from horizon to horizon. Late summer’s most prominent constellations are suspended within its pale glow. \nAmateur astronomer Richard Luecke will take you on an indoor\, 50-minute image-enhanced journey along that river of starlight and introduce you to summer’s most prominent constellations. You’ll learn to identify Perseus\, Cassiopeia and Andromeda\, Cygnus the Swan\, and Aquila\, Zeus’s pet eagle. Your journey will end in the constellation Sagittarius\, which marks the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy. It glistens with star clusters and glowing clouds of interstellar gas that even our naked eyes can perceive in the Schoodic’s dark sky. \nWe will meet in Moore Auditorium on Schoodic Institute’s campus from 7:30pm – 8:30pm on Saturday\, August 23rd. Weather permitting\, we’ll venture outside for a green laser tour (8:30 – 10:00pm)\, where you’ll meet these sky wonders face-to-face – and likely see a few flashing meteors! A large astronomical telescope will provide stunning views of the ET Cluster\, the Great Andromeda Galaxy\, the Dumbbell Nebula and more. Bring binoculars if you have them\, and dress warmer than you’d think necessary!

SUMMARY:Of Asteroids\, Comets\, and Meteors... and Close Encounters
DESCRIPTION:There are more things in our solar system than the eight planets and their moons. Millions of small bodies of rock\, ice and metal – asteroids\, comets and meteors – orbit the Sun. Many are awesome to behold against the dark night sky\, but some are potential threats to our planet. Amateur astronomer Richard Luecke will offer an indoor\, image-enhanced introduction to these celestial neighbors\, how to observe them\, and the risks they pose when their trajectories cross the Earth’s orbit around the sun. \nJoin us in Moore Auditorium on the Schoodic Institute campus from 7:30pm – 8:30pm on Monday\, August 25th. Weather permitting\, attendees will be invited outdoors for a laser-guided tour of Maine’s stunning night sky and viewing of star clusters\, nebulae and far distant galaxies through a large astronomical telescope (approximately 8:30pm – 10:00pm). Bring binoculars if you have them\, and dress warmer than you’d think necessary! \nSpace is limited! Please register below.\nCost: $15.00/person or $50.00/family of up to four \nNASA Photo / Comet NEOWISE 2019

SUMMARY:Welcome to the Milky Way II
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this second offering of Welcome to the Milky Way! \nLess than half of the world’s people can see the Milky Way—our home galaxy—because of urban light pollution. But here in Acadia it shines brightly on clear\, moonless nights. The collective glow of its 200+ billion stars arches from horizon to horizon throughout the summer. \nAmateur astronomy Richard Luecke will explain our current understanding of the Milky Way\, our place in it\, and how you can view and appreciate its splendors. His image-enhanced\, indoor presentation will acquaint you with some of our galaxy’s most stunning features. \nWe will meet in Moore Auditorium on Schoodic Institute’s campus from 7:30pm – 8:30pm on Tuesday\, August 26th. Weather permitting\, attendees will be invited outdoors for a laser-guided tour of Maine’s stunning night sky and viewing of star clusters\, nebulae and far distant galaxies through a large astronomical telescope (8:30 – 10:00pm). Bring binoculars if you have them\, and dress warmer than you’d think necessary. \nCost: $15.00/person or $50.00/family of up to four \nBanner Photo by Harley Grady
