Public Stargazing at Millennium Square, Pickering (GO)

Everyone is invited to join us and Durham Skies on September 9 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 the spectacular rings of Saturn. Learn the names of late-summer stars and the constellation patterns they form. Peer deep into 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.

Everything gets underway at 6:00pm with solar-filtered telescopes providing views of sunspots and prominences.

Fee: Free

Location: Millennium Square beside Frenchman's Bay at the foot of Liverpool Road, Pickering
