AUGUST 2010 PLANETARIUM EVENTS
To the devil with those golden August afternoons
and beachside frolicks. Your soul craves the
stygian gloom of an underworld planetarium
full of shadows, stars, and a private portal to the
most fantastic places in the cosmos.
We invite you to experience late summer
with us and discover that it looks the same down here now
as it does in late winter. Welcome to the eternal night of space.
We have our usual matinees, evening astronomy shows, and
one celestial poetry evening on August 1st. We also have a special
outreach program at Maine Audubon on August 12th in which we
shall -hopefully- observe the Perseid Meteor shower.
