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 at the Ontario Science Centre for our monthly Solar Observing on the TELUSCAPE observing pad. This is the area in front of the Science Centre's entrance. We use specialized telescopes that are safe to aim at the Sun. Check our home page on the Friday prior for go/no-go calls as this event is weather dependent.

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, so the date and time are determined closer to.

Join us at the Ontario Science Centre for Astronomy Week with a special event on Monday—a rare Transit of Mercury. We will be set up on the TELUSCAPE observing pad in front of the Science Centre's entrance with specialized telescopes that are safe to aim at the Sun. http://www.space.com/32476-mercury-transit-may-2016-rare-event.html In the event of inclement weather, a live stream of the event will be presented in the Gemini Room.

You are invited to the transit of Mercury viewing party at the E.C. Carr Astronomical Observatory (CAO) in Blue Mountains.  This daytime event is jointly hosted by the Blue Mountains Library and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Toronto Centre and is open to the public. Monday, May 9, 2016.  Arrive any time after 10:00 am.

Here on earth, we can only see two planets pass between us and the Sun - and it doesn't happen every day! The last time we saw Mercury appear to glide across the face of the Sun was in 2006. The next time it happens is 2019. Join us for this special daytime event at the David Dunlap Observatory. The gates will open at 10:00 a.m. If the weather's clear, stop by for a (safe) peek at the Sun through a variety of solar telescopes. We'll be webcasting too! For obvious reasons, the big telescope will not be in use. There's no charge. Just drop by.
