Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:10pm 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!

Demystify pop culture myths in astronomy, space, and extraterrestrial life. Hear the real story from real scientists! Come see fascinating presentations and join a discussion with interesting speakers at this special space-themed Science Literacy Week event.

As part of Science Literacy week, we are excited to host a free fun hands-on experience that engages the public about space science topics. Learn how space science concepts are applicable to our daily lives and see the latest mission news from ranging from astronomy, geology to geography! Support your local cafe - Studio 89 in the process! This event is a partnership event hosted by BeSpatial Consulting, hERVOLUTION and Studio 89. Children, youth, adults and seniors can all drop in and participate!

On September 21, Amber Mac will lead a discussion on space exploration with nine Canadian astronauts at the University of Ottawa. Don’t miss this unique event! The event will be streamed LIVE on the CSA Facebook page at 11:30am.

Explore the environment that an astronaut encounters in space. From microgravity to no atmosphere, how do humans adapt to survive in space? Observe the Sun through a safe, solar telescope and learn how something 150 million km from Earth has to be considered during any safe trip beyond Earth.   One of the biggest challenges is what to eat in space! How do astronauts manage to eat healthy food while in microgravity? What will we eat if we ever settle beyond Earth?

York University celebrates Science Literacy Week with three days of space-themed events.

Astronomers had long expected that the gravitational pull of galaxies on one another would cause the expansion of the universe to slow. The discovery that the expansion was speeding up was a substantial surprise to most. How was this measurement made? What does it mean? Did Einstein anticipate this discovery? What next?

In celebration of Science Literacy Week we would like you to come and learn about the moon, make moon craters, and explore moon phases.

Giant molecular clouds are the birthplace of stars and planets; however, the true nature of these clouds remains a great mystery. The first step towards achieving a greater understanding of star formation is exploring the structure and evolution of the clouds in which they form. Learn how powerful supercomputers are used to visualize simulated star-forming clouds to help solve several major unanswered questions in star formation. Astronomy talk presented by Dr. Rachel Ward-Maxwell.
