SUMMARY:Get To Know the Summer Stars Over Schoodic
DESCRIPTION:Join us September 3 for Get To Know the Summer Stars Over Schoodic with Richard Luecke!  \nAs 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 first. Weather permitting\, we’ll venture outside for a green laser tour\, 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. \nREGISTER HERE\nBring binoculars if you have them\, and dress warmer than you’d think necessary. \nPhoto credit: jmnaturenightscapes

SUMMARY:Welcome to the Milky Way
DESCRIPTION:Join us September 4 for Welcome to the Milky Way with Richard Luecke! \nOnly one-third 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 300+ billion stars arches from horizon to horizon. \nAmateur astronomer Richard Luecke will explain our current understanding of the Milky Way and our place in it. His image-enhanced indoor presentation will acquaint you with some the galaxy’s most stunning features and what we are learning about newly discovered planets—currently numbering 4\,300–orbiting other stars. \nWe will meet in Moore Auditorium on Schoodic Institute’s campus first. Weather permitting\, you 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. \nREGISTER HERE\nBring binoculars if you have them\, and dress warmer than you’d think necessary.

SUMMARY:Our Understanding of the Cosmos—Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Join us September 5 for Our Understanding of the Cosmos—Then and Now with Richard Luecke of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club!  \nFor millennia\, people have tried to understand what they observed in the night sky–planets\, passing comets\, stars and the pale glow of the Milky Way. Our understanding has changed remarkably over the centuries thanks to progress in astronomy\, astrophysics and observing technology. \nThis visually enhanced presentation will focus on key moments in those centuries of progress\, which include the Earth-centered universe of the ancient world; Copernicus’s Sun-centered revolution; the revelations of Galileo’s wonderful telescope; physical laws revealed by Newton and Kepler; how we’ve learned to measure the vast distances of space; and Edwin Hubble’s breakthrough discoveries\, which have greatly expanded our measure of the universe. \nWe will meet in Moore Auditorium on Schoodic Institute’s campus. Weather permitting\, attendees will then be invited outdoors for a laser-guided tour of Maine’s stunning night sky\, followed by a viewing of star clusters\, nebulae and distant galaxies through a large telescope. \nREGISTER HERE\nBring binoculars if you have them\, and dress warmer than you’d think necessary.
