Dunlap Institute: Astronomy on Tap T.O. (CANCELLED)

We are sad to announce that, as a precaution to protect against COVID-19, we will be cancelling Astronomy on Tap for March 20. This was not an easy decision to make, but we decided that it was in everyone's best interests to err on the side of safety and caution.   Astronomy on Tap T.O. will, of course, continue this year and in the future - so please continue to check out Event Horizon, our website, and social media for those dates.

RASC, Mississauga Centre: Apollo 13 - The Flight That Failed (CANCELLED)

Due to the COVID-19 crisis and the suspension of in-person classes at UTM, we have cancelled this meeting. Fifty years ago, the third mission was launched to land two people on the Moon. On the third day of the flight, a problem occurred which cancelled the plans for the lunar landing and instead, started a race to get the astronauts home alive. In this talk, Randy Attwood will detail all the things which had to go right to save the Apollo 13 crew.

Dark Sky Star Party (first clear night: Monday, Tuesday or Thursday) (CANCELLED)

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. Check our homepage for GO/NO-GO calls as this event is weather dependent.

UofT Planetarium: The Life and Death of Stars (SOLD OUT)

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!
