UofT Planetarium: Kids March Break Show (SOLD OUT)

Rocket away from the Earth on a tour through our solar system and beyond. Starting with highlights from the Toronto night sky, this show will take you on an epic cosmic journey. We’ll follow human spacecraft on their visits to the planets and moons of the solar system, then warp far beyond the furthest reaches of human exploration to visit other stars, galaxies, and the very edge of the observable universe. This show is aimed at children as part of our March break programing, intended for audiences aged 4–12 and families.

UofT Planetarium: The Life and Death of Stars (SOLD OUT)

Showtimes: 6:15pm, 7:30pm The stars in the night sky seem unchanging and eternal, and have remained the same for the history of human civilization. However, over millions and billions of years, new stars are born, live out their long lives, and eventually die in a blaze of glory. In this show, we will be exploring the lives of stars by visiting stellar nurseries, supernova remnants and much more!

UofT AstroTour: Kepler’s Story: How one telescope changed everything we know about exoplanets

Astronomers discovered the first planets outside of our solar system almost thirty years ago, opening up an exciting new field of research in astronomy. In 2002, astronomers discovered an exoplanet for the first time using the transit method. By monitoring the brightness of many stars in the sky at the same time, astronomers could detect the signature of a planet as it passed in front of the star, blocking a small fraction of the star’s light and causing it to dim.
