Join us as we celebrate International Pride in STEM day with an afternoon of activities and a Science Slam featuring LGBTQ+ speakers.

Everyone is invited to join us and Durham Skies for stargazing at the edge of Lake Ontario. Take a free look through different kinds of telescopes (including solar-filtered scopes) to get close-up looks at sunspots, craters on the Moon, and planets visible in the current night sky. Peer into deep space and try your hand at spotting faint star clusters and nebulae. You can even bring your own telescope along and we'll give you expert advice on how to use it better.

See the Milky Way and galaxies with the unaided eye. Point your telescope to find the many dim deep space objects that sprinkle the sky. Away from Toronto's light polution, there is so much to see. We observe from the Long Sault Conservation area, an hour outside of Toronto. We meet around dusk once a month in the parking lot for views only seen in dark sky conditions. We hold this event on the first clear night of our week-long window, so the date and time are determined closer to.

Rev up for space robotics! From satellites to soil sampling to lunar mining, experience how technology is advancing space exploration. Discover the latest developments in space exploration technologies, and meet researchers, scientists and engineers who work at the forefront in this sector.

Traditionally, space exploration has long been dominated by men. Today, women occupy a range of roles in the space industry—from astronauts to engineers to meteorologists. Thanks to women’s contributions, capabilities in space exploration continue to expand. With space inching closer and closer to being part of our everyday lives, it’s an exciting time to be involved in the space industry.

What is the sound of a twinkling star? Can planets keep a beat? How loud was the big bang?
