We’ve all gazed into the night sky but with the proper tools we can observe and photograph amazing celestial events. We visit a local astronomy club and speak with an astrophotographer and an outdoor filmmaker to see what Maine's night sky has to offer.

Borealis is made possible by the generous support of The Nature Conservancy Maine, The Maine Office of Tourism, Poland Spring, Evergreen Home Performance, The Conservation Fund, and viewers like you!
