Join Dr. Jennifer West as she discusses the phenomenon of solar eclipses in preparation for the solar eclipse on Monday August 21st. Dr. West is a Postdoctoral Fellow who uses large radio surveys to study magnetic fields in the universe. She is also enthusiastic about astronomy education and outreach.

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm and 9:00pm

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm and 9:00pm

Professor Keith Vanderlinde talks about his work with the 10m South Pole Telescope, and the science that convinced him to undertake an eleven-month "winterover" position working on-location with the telescope.

Join us as we recognize Canada's 150th birthday, in this profusely-illustrated and non-technical presentation, where you will discover how Toronto became a "centre of the universe" for astronomical research, education, and public outreach.

If astronomy was an Olympic sport, Canada would surely be a medallist. In this profusely-illustrated, non-technical presentation, you will learn about the amazing astronomical discoveries, inventions, facilities,and people that put Canada at the forefront - from Standard Time, to black holes and the birth of the universe. Presented by Professor Emeritus John Percy, Astronomy & Astrophysics, Dunlap Institute.

Learn about the upcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope that will help reveal our cosmic origins. Join Professor Roberto Abraham on a cosmic journey to learn about how the latest discoveries in astrophysics help to place your existence in a cosmic context. JWST is an international collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm, and 9:00pm In 1977 two small probes, Voyager 1 and 2, were launched from Earth with a mission to study the outer solar system. Both spacecraft visited Jupiter and Saturn, and Voyager 2 passed by Uranus and Neptune, returning images to Earth which allowed us to make surprising discoveries about these distant planets. Now these probes are entering interstellar space, making them the furthest man-made objects from the Earth!

Showtimes: 7:00pm and 8:00pm

Prof. Keith Vanderlinde has spent the last decade building and using telescopes to study the Universe: its composition, history, and eventual fate. Aided by technologies that make cell phones and possible, and which make video games a staple of modern culture, he and colleagues from across Canada are building a massive new radio telescope in Penticton, B.C., which will map a larger volume of space than ever attempted before.
