RASC, Mississauga Centre: Transit of Mercury at The Riverwood Conservancy
For the first time since 2016, the planet Mercury will pass between the Earth and the Sun, making it visible as a small dot against the Sun’s disc.
While it will be an amazing sight to behold, looking directly at the sun is dangerous. So the experts from the Mississauga Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada will be setting up their properly-filtered telescopes at Riverwood to offer you safe, clear views of the transit.

UofT AstroTour: Exploring the Magnetic Universe
Magnetism is one of the fundamental forces of nature and shows up in many places in our daily lives, but it’s not something that most people associate with astronomy. Yet the entire universe is filled with magnetic fields on all scales: from planets to stars to galaxies to galaxy clusters and beyond. In this talk we will take a look at the magnetic universe: the nature of magnetism, the causes of magnetism in astronomical objects, how we detect magnetism in distant places, and how magnetic fields affect our understanding of astrophysics.
