NEW YEAR'S PLANETARIUM at the Southworth Planetarium Monday, December 31, 2018 6:00 p.m. - midnight 2019 is on its way! In fact, it has already arrived in charming locales such as Apia, Samoa and Christmas Island! Because the time zone configuration is so mind numbingly complex, every new year is mid-wived into birth over the course of 26 hours! Like an ominous shadow migrating inexorably across our globe, 2019 is full steam ahead and will slam us broadsides in a little more than 16 hours from now. Speaking of which! If you intend to join the frenzied, bacchanal revels at the Southworth Planetarium this evening, we strongly encourage you to please make a reservation. Pre-event publicity -notably, the article in the Lewiston Sun-Journal- has brought "New Year's Planetarium" into the focal point of attention. (Yes, I know you're sitting there right now thinking, 'Gee, I never heard of it. What is it, again?') Well, what a perfect time to paste in a link: https://usm.maine.edu/planet/new-years-planetarium-2019 If you want to attend tonight's New Year's Planetarium, please send a reply or call 207-780-4249 to make a reservation. Oh, and just to drape a water-soaked acre of burlap onto the excitement, if the University closes because of the impending inclement weather, we'll have to cancel. ha ha! ON THAT NOTE, HAPPY NEW YEAR ONE AND ALL!!
