Learn astronomy from leading research scientists across the globe! From the University of Toronto to the University of Cambridge, astronomers at the frontier of space research and exploration are set to speak at the Astronomy and Space Exploration Society’s 17th annual symposium — themed “Mysteries of the Universe” — from February 15–17.

Join us online to learn basic astronomy that you can do on your own from your backyard! We'll be hosting introductory astronomy courses every other Tuesday at 3:30pm EDT. They'll give you the tools to learn astronomy on your own at home, along with some observing goals to try. All you need is your computer! A pair of binoculars will help, but are not necessary.

A hundred years ago, we believed that our own galaxy, the Milky Way, constituted the entire universe. We believed that the universe was stagnant. We did not know about the constituents of the universe – dark matter and dark energy – and we believed that we were special. At the time, cosmological research relied on Newton’s conceptions of gravity. Since then, discoveries in modern physics, the triumphs of Einstein’s theory of general relativity, and the confluence of these ideas and instruments have completely transformed our understanding of space and time.

Join us for an exciting live show on Hawai'ian Indigenous Astronomy including the revitalization of Wayfinding and traditional Hawai'ian methods of navigation. Students from the Volcano School of Arts and Sciences will present their research which will include a place-based activity, “Make Your Own Hawai'ian Star Compasses” and essential understanding of the Hawaiian Star Families.
