Toronto Reference Library: Nature's Supercolliders: The Extreme Environments of Stellar Graveyards

We are all made of stardust. That dust comes from the debris left over after a massive star explodes. These environments are so extreme they are unlike anything we can find or duplicate on Earth. Understanding them gives us clues of the origin of our Earth and everything on it. In this talk U of T's Jennifer West will tell you about how these fascinating stellar graveyards are the building blocks of life, and how we can learn more about them.

City Star Party (GO for Thursday)

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!
