- NASA Murals Unveiling
- The Maynard F. Jordan Planetarium will celebrate the International Year of Astronomy by unveiling two new mural-sized images of the center of the Milky Way Galaxy Nov. 12 at 11 a.m. at UMaine's Wingate Hall. The murals, one 6 feet by 3-feet and the other 3 feet by 4-feet, show a high resolution, never-before-seen image of the center region of our galaxy, created by X-ray and infrared technology at NASA's Hubble Space Telescope ([ http://hubblesite.org/ ]http://hubblesite.org/), Spitzer Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory. The pictures reveal deep center Milky Way imagery not visible to traditional telescopes because of illuminated dust in space, but visible through X-ray and infrared augmenting visual telescopes. The murals will hang in the Wingate Hall lobby through 2010.
UMaine physics and astronomy professor Neil Comins will answer questions and later will expand on the subject in a 45-minute talk at the planetarium at 7 p.m.
Details are available at http://www.galaxymaine.com/SN/SN2.htm.
