The events and phenomena will be explained using simple language, with recommendations about how best to observe and photograph them.

Safely observe the Sun with us, from the comfort of your home! During these family-friendly sessions, a DDO Astronomer will answer your questions about our closest star: the Sun!

We'll review the cultures that have seen a lion in the stars of Leo, highlight the astrophysics and naming of its major stars, point out other interesting variable stars, double stars, and one referenced in Star Trek!

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).

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 us for the May AstroTour! Fergus Horrobin will be talking about how stars and planetary systems around them form.
