Christie Pits Film Festival will open its 6th summer season - called Stranded in Christie Pits! - with the contemporary space odyssey Gravity, which takes us on the nail-biting journey of a medical engineer stranded in space. The evening’s programme will begin with Young Galaxy's sci-fi inspired music video for New Summer, setting the tone for a beautiful and exciting new summer in the Pits. Come join us! Gravity, directed by Alfonso Cuarón (2013)New Summer - Young Galaxy, directed by Ivan Grbovic (2013)

Enjoy and learn about the night sky through an engaging presentation delivered by an astronomer. Learn about history, mythology and how to identify star constellations overhead.

Join the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers at Bayfront park for a evening of stargazing and planet viewing.

Come join the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers for a night under the stars this June 18th between 9:00–11:00pm at the Niagara Gateway Tourism Centre. Friendly club members will have telescopes set up where you can ask questions and gaze upon celestial objects of interest. Subject to weather conditions.

In the last 20 years, the amateur astronomer has gained access to three paradigm-changing technologies: The Internet, progressively sophisticated astronomy software, and the CCD camera. This presentation will outline how an amateur astronomer, armed with these technologies, can engage in professional-amateur (pro-am) collaborations and contribute to astronomical sciences by monitoring a wide-range of transient astrophysical phenomena.

Presented by Prof. Doug Welch, Department of Physics & Astronomy, McMaster University

Even the greatest scientists have made some serious blunders. "Brilliant Blunders" concerns the evolution of life on Earth, of the Earth itself, of stars, and of the universe as a whole.

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm, and 9:00pm 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! If you have questions please contact planetarium@universe.utoronto.ca
