Gerrard/Ashdale Library: Moon Watch Party
The winter sky presents some of the most spectacular sights available to sky-watchers. During this hands-on program, astronomers from the Dunlap Institute will present an overview of the night sky. Then we will move outdoors and look through the telescope. The moon will be in a quarter phase, so the mountains and craters should be visible.
Children & families are encouraged to participate. There will be lots of opportunities to ask questions.

UofT AstroTour: A Conversation With An Old Friend, The Moon
Speaker: Ari Silburt
The Moon is intimately connected to humans, whether we realize it or not. It has been there since the formation of the Earth, and has watched over life as we evolved to the present day. Like ourselves, the Moon has also been changing with time, and there are many layers to its existence. In this lecture I will re-acquaint the public with the Moon, describing its formation history, its relationship to humans, its current relationship with the Earth, and future space plans on the Moon.
