Approved!! Trustees approve new planetarium, observatory at UMaine
Bangor Daily News, July 18, 2011 Excerpt
BANGOR, Maine — The billions and billions of stars in the cosmos will be clearer and brighter in the new $5.2 million combined planetarium and observatory that the University of Maine System board of trustees approved Monday for the University of Maine campus.
The new structure will be built near Rangeley Road between the Hilltop parking lots and the Littlefield Garden. It is expected to be completed in about three years. Click on the link (above) for the “rest of the story”.
Congratulations! The Maynard F. Jordan Planetarium was listed in Yankee Magazine as one of Maine’s Best Bargains for 2011! For more information, click here.
