UofT: Lunar Eclipse Live in Scarborough

In celebration of Science Literacy Week, join UTSC for an evening to view the last visible total lunar eclipse until 2019 accompanied by a series of short lectures on astronomy. On September 27, the moon will pass through Earth's shadow, blocking any direct sunlight to the moon and causing it to glow red. The eclipse will also be streamed live on screen in case of weather. Attendees will get a chance to tour UTSC's observatory and look through our telescopes.

Refreshments will be provided.

Speakers
Amaury Triaud, Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Toronto
Ari Silburt, PhD Candidate, Astrophysics, University of Toronto
Daniel Tamayo, Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Toronto
Hanno Rein, Assistant Professor, University of Toronto
