Wasn't there just a thread about what people recognize as coming from Maine? Now we know. It's walruses.

You will be a Walrus or you will be nothing at all

I studied celestial navigation in school and SkyView lite was recommended by a professor as a good app to familiarize yourself, so that's got to say something.

It had to be an environment the walruses live in, and that would have been the only time [in what is now Maine].”

>Spiess agreed with Jacobson that walruses were in Maine as the ice age was waning.

Sweet Williams was fantastic. Nice tour of the sugar house and grounds to the collection site. Free ice cream, maple butter and beans. Cotton candy, maple donuts, assorted candy, scones and assorted sizes of syrup with light to robust available.

Google sky maps is what I've been using for the last decade. Although I'm not sure it's owned by Google anymore at this point.

You've never once asked about something online? Never asked people their thoughts on Reddit about something you aren't sure about? a DIY project, a hobby?

I call bullshit.

There used to be a regular column in the Bangor Daily News that gave a star map and some info about interesting space events for the week or month. I believe it was from a local astronomer, not some syndicated thing.
So...subscribe to newspapers.com, look up those columns, and determine which ones apply to the current date and time.
Easy!

It's no joke. This is a Smithsonian quality museum. Check out bethelmaine.com for more things to do in the area. A lot of people don't realize how sought after Western Maine minerals are globally.

Same principle. Jesus why is that so hard for people to understand?
Let’s make it less money then, so you’ll go spend $20 on something you know nothing about because “it’s local!”

timeanddate.com is a decent resource for this type of stuff.

It's a bottle of maple syrup, not a $30,000 car.
