Island Astronomy Institute, educating Maine's starlit communities

 

 

SPONSOR OUR DIGITAL STARLAB—

Add Your Star, Cluster, or Galaxy to the Planetarium Outreach Program
 

 

The Island Astronomy Institute is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation.

 

Every $50 donated to our Digital STARLAB project will be recognized as one of the planetarium's stars. You may download our pledge flyer to donate by mail.

 

The number of "stars" contributed in any name will be added together over the life of the program. Any name accumulating ten stars will be recognized as a Star Cluster. Every ten Star Clusters will be recognized as a Galaxy:

 

  • Stars—$50 each
  • Cluster—10 Stars
  • Galaxy—10 Clusters

 

The Pemetic Elementary School PTO launched the star-forming donation process with an anonymous contribution of one Star Cluster ($500). Since then, matching Star Clusters have been formed by Mt. Desert Elementary School, Knowles Chiropractic and Wellness Center, and others.
