Speaker: Dr. Amaury Triaud

From decades-old radio transmissions to the ringing of ionized matter, NASA’s audio archive has a ready supply of compelling and otherworldly sounds, and artists from around the world have been making use of the material. The Canadian Music Centre has invited Canadian composers to use sounds downloaded from NASA’s archive to create their own electronic piece or soundscape. On Thursday, June the 4th, you will be treated to a live presentation of the new pieces.

The International Space Development Conference (ISDC) is the annual conference of the National Space Society. The conference covers several broad areas of study related to building a spacefaring civilization, including transportation to and through space, technology needed to live and work in space, and Earth-based activities to advocate for or educate others about space development.

Clifford Will, Distinguished Professor of Physics, University of Florida Einstein's theories of relativity have had a major impact on everything from popular culture to everyday life to basic science. Songs, plays and movies proclaim Einstein as the symbol of genius, while users of GPS navigation devices unknowingly take account of Einstein's relativistic warpage of time.

Speaker: Dr. Bryan Gaensler, Director, Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics The stars of the night sky appear gentle, peaceful and unchanging. But this is a lie. The Universe is a violent and catastrophic place, with dozens of tools at its disposal to wipe out all life on Earth with almost no warning. Astronomers are still only beginning to appreciate the true scope of the dramatic forces that drive the Universe's evolution.

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm, and 9:00pm Often, when one thinks of the solar system, only the planets and the Sun come to mind. But what about all the other stuff? There are millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt, tens of millions of objects in the Kuiper belt, and probably trillions of objects in the Oort cloud, not to mention the hundreds of Moons and dozens of dwarf planets scattered throughout the solar system. In this show, we will explore the underdogs of the solar system: the asteroids, comets, moons, and dwarf planets who don’t get nearly enough respect!
