By the end of July the red planet will be the closest and brightest it has been in 15 years.

To celebrate this special event, the Hamilton Centre RASC will host an outreach event at Spencer Smith Park in Burlington. Also visible will be Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon and the club is excited to share views of these heavenly bodies with anyone who wishes to have a look through one of our telescopes.

The telescopes will be set up near the water, behind Spencer’s At The Waterfront restaurant. Look for the huge compass etched in the concrete.
