Greetings!
This (censored) storm has closed the University and planetarium today.
However, if you're still looking for eclipse glasses, you'll have opportunities to buy them during the following times.
Friday night
6:30 - 9 p.m
Saturday
10:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
5:30 - 9:00 p.m.
Sunday

Believe me, I wish to the highest heaven that I could open today.
However, barring any unforeseen meteorological catastrophe, we'll be open tonight and throughout the weekend.
Stay safe
Be well.
Edward

IMPORTANT NOTE: May 15th is my last day as Director of the Southworth Planetarium. If you need to contact the planetarium after this date, please consult our web-site: www.usm.maine.edu/southworth-planetarium or call 207-780-4249 "If we're sufficiently sceptical and empirical about anything (whether
a star or a baby or a plastic cup), we'll see that it's baffling,
mysterious, thrillingly weird and defies all of our categories -
requiring a poetical and a mathematical and an emotional and a physical
response."
