Join artist and scholar Bettina Forget for a talk bridging art, space science, and the timely topic of women’s representation. Of the 1,605 named craters on the moon, only 29 are named after women — an issue that Forget has tackled in a series of works called Women With Impact. She’ll discuss the underrepresentation of women in the historical science record through the lens of this piece, which fuses drawing and selenographic research.

Dr. Arthur B. McDonald (Nobel Physics Laureate, 2015) will talk about subatomic physics and the search for Dark Matter at a level accessible to the general public.

Visit a unique historical site in Richmond Hill and experience an engaging presentation led by expert and researchers in astronomy, covering a variety of exciting astronomy topics. After the presentation, participants will tour the observatory and see a demonstration of the 74" telescope. If the sky is clear, the dome will be opened and the telescope pointed to an interesting celestial object for the visitors to view. Please wear/bring appropriate supplies for being outdoors. All registered participants under the ages of 16 must be accompanied by a registered adult.

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!

Curious to see what it is like to attend a university Lecture? Join us in the library for an astronomy lecture: Mission to Pluto, From Napkin to New Horizon

Join us for 3 days of highly engaging inquiry-based and hands-on workshops that focus on earth, space science, astronomy, and related disciplines. · The workshops will be based on K-12 Earth and Space Science Curriculum and led by educators and outreach professionals from educational institutions, organizations and industries. · A unique opportunity that includes tours of various on-campus facilities and discussions on current topics about space science/exploration.

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!

Much of modern astronomy research is performed at our computers; even observations at telescopes are now often controlled remotely. However, there are still observatories around the world where astronomical discoveries are made in-person.

Join us as we celebrate International Pride in STEM day with an afternoon of activities and a Science Slam featuring LGBTQ+ speakers.

Everyone is invited to join us and Durham Skies for stargazing at the edge of Lake Ontario. Take a free look through different kinds of telescopes (including solar-filtered scopes) to get close-up looks at sunspots, craters on the Moon, and planets visible in the current night sky. Peer into deep 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.
