WATERVILLE — Star parties with Northern Stars Planetarium are set for Friday, Feb. 7, in Studio 1902 of the Paul J. Schupf Art Center, 93 Main St.
During the indoor planetarium gatherings, one can see what might be visible in the sky during February. Participants join educator John Meader in the planetarium as they travel through the constellations to discover various nebulae, star clusters, galaxies, and planets that one can find with a small telescope or binoculars.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
