An immersive experience where the observer will witness a massive sculpture of the sun as it progresses through its life cycle. A deeply personal and highly evocative meditation on human mortality and people's individual place in the universe, this installation portrays the death of the star that sustains this planet.

Hover above the moon like an astronaut and get eye-to-eye with the planets. Find colourful stars, star clusters, bright nebulae and even another galaxy. Our monthly City Star Party is the place to catch universe from within the city limits at Bayview Village Park. If you don't have a telescope then you will find many astronomers who would love to share a view. If you are thinking of buying a telescope, viewing with other people's equipment is the best way to make a good choice. If you have a telescope or binoculars, please bring it!

Join Prof. Sheila Rowan—Director of the Institute for Gravitational Research in the School of Physics and Astronomy in the University of Glasgow—as she presents a free public lecture Gravitational Waves, a New Astronomy

Everyone is invited to join us and Durham Skies on October 7 for stargazing at the edge of Lake Ontario. Take a free look through different kinds of telescopes to get close-up views of craters on the Moon and the spectacular rings of Saturn. Learn the names of the stars of autumn 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.

Become a space traveller and embark on a unique experiential journey of the cosmos from the comfort of your own seat!

Join us for our monthly recreational astronomy night meeting. This is where our members get to show their latest projects, or give tutorials and tips on just about everything to do with Astronomy. Talks start at 7:30, socializing starts at 7:00.

See the milky way and galaxies with the unaided eye. Point your telescope to find the many dim deep space objects that sprinkle the sky. Away from Toronto's light polution, there is so much to see. We observe from the Long Sault Conservation area, an hour outside of Toronto. We meet around dusk once a month in the parking lot for views only seen in dark sky conditions. We hold this event on the first clear night of our week-long window, so the date and time are determined closer to.

From tornadoes to snow squalls, from heat waves to freezing rain...Ontario experiences 4 full seasons of weather. Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson will discuss the various technologies available to the forecasters of the Ontario Storm Prediction Centre and the challenges that forecasting different types of weather can pose. The explosion of the Internet in recent years has also made a lot of weather information freely available. Geoff will also touch on some useful websites/apps that can allow the amateur meteorologist to stay one step ahead of the weather.
