UofT Planetarium: The Quest for Life in the Universe
Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm, and 9:00pm
Are we alone? This question has inspired scientific research for millenia, but in the last fifty years astronomers have taken the first tentative steps toward answering it. In this planetarium show, we journey to the worlds of our Solar System, from Mars to Saturn’s moons Enceladus and Titan, in search of environments that could potentially foster life. We then travel hundreds of light-years away from the Sun to explore some of the most extreme, most bizarre and most Earth-like extrasolar planets discovered to date.

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.
