Gerrard/Ashdale Library: Star Party
Join the Toronto Public Library for a night under the stars at the Gerrard/Ashdale library. U of T Astronomy Professor Michael Reid will begin with a short talk about how to find your way around the winter sky and then, if it's clear, we'll go outdoors to look at the stars. We hope to be able to see Jupiter and its moons. This definitely calls for hot chocolate. Suitable for all ages.
