Join us on February 9 for special hands-on activities, speakers and presentations to mark International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Challenge implicit biases, widen your perspective on what makes a great scientist and imagine your future in STEM. What’s this day about? Science informs our present and our future, addressing issues that our society faces. More than ever today, the world needs science, and science needs women in all fields to bring different perspectives and solutions to global problems.

Join us at the Ontario Science Centre for our monthly Solar Observing on the TELUSCAPE.

Join us for the February AstroTour! The entire evening is free and no registration is required. Pavel Motloch, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, will be sharing his expertise on dark energy! Can't make it? We will be livestreaming our talk on our Facebook event page, so be sure to tune in!

Please join us for our monthly meeting on February 6 at 8:00pm to hear Dr. Laura Parker. This meeting is open to the general public, and new members are always welcome! Dr. Parker will present an observational overview of how galaxies evolve over cosmic time. This talk will focus on the role that the host environment plays in the evolution of galaxy shapes and star formation. She will share some recent work from her research group that explores the galaxy transformations that occur in the most extreme host environment, rich galaxy clusters.

Join us as Professor John Percy of the University of Toronto presents on the universe. The astronomical universe is as exciting as anything in science fiction or video games -- and it's real!

A talk by Uahikea MaileModerated by Kristen BosThis talk explores how territory, time, and techno-scientific desires for space can be unsettled for cruising a decolonized then and deoccupied there in Hawaiʻi.

Science fiction and science both inspire wonder and awe, albeit in very different ways. At its best, science fiction asks profound questions about the human condition. In contrast, science asks – and often answers – even more profound questions about the very nature of matter, space, and time. Both science fiction and science fact explore the concept of journeying to other stars and finding life on other worlds. When it comes to interstellar travel, the truth may soon become stranger (and more amazing) than fiction.

Have you ever looked through a telescope? Take a tour of the night sky through a telescope and snap a photo or two of your favourite celestial body. Learn about the phases of the Moon, get an up-close look at the planets, and gaze at the brightest stars (weather permitting).

It's time for our first event of 2020! Black holes are everywhere in popular science and science fiction, but what do we really know about these ultra-dense objects? If you would like to know more, join ASX for our Star Talk on Wednesday, January 29, in Lash Miller Chemical Laboratories (LM), Room 161. Professor Chris Matzner will be illuminating the darkness surrounding black holes, by elaborating on the state of our understanding in 2020! The free, public lecture itself is from 7:00pm-8:00pm followed, weather permitting, by a free, public telescope viewing atop MP.
