RASC Toronto Centre presents, at the David Dunlap Observatory, Paint Night! On Tuesday 20 August, 7:30 PM, join us for a wonderful evening of nebulae and watercolours with artist Anna Ainsworth.

People have deeply-held misconceptions about the most basic astronomical topics, such as the cause of the seasons. In this profusely-illustrated, non-technical presentation, some "heavenly errors" will be discussed, from everyday life, to exotic black holes, to the birth of the universe. Presented by Dr. John Percy, Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto, in Astronomy & Astrophysics and in Science Education.

Join the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers for the Annual Public Perseids Meteor Shower Night.

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:15pm The stars in the night sky seem unchanging and eternal, and have remained the same for the history of human civilization. However, over millions and billions of years, new stars are born, live out their long lives, and eventually die in a blaze of glory. In this show, we will be exploring the lives of stars by visiting stellar nurseries, supernova remnants and much more!
