Millennium Square Public Star Party - May 2 or 3, 2025

Join us for an evening of free public stargazing along the north shore of Lake Ontario at Millennium Square in Pickering.

Observe the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and stars through our telescopes! Check out astronomy literature at our information booth, and ask us questions to learn more about the stars and planets.

You can bring your own telescope and we'd be happy to help you set it up and aim it at the Moon.

Everything gets underway at 6:00 pm with solar-filtered telescopes providing views of sunspots and prominences with our Sun at maximum activity!

Remember to dress for cold temperatures down by the lake.

Please check our website for a GO/NO-GO decision based on the weather before heading to the Square.

Please note that we make our GO/NO-GO calls a few hours before an event, but if the weather worsens, we may have to cancel or wrap up earlier than planned. We'll try to post updates but please use your best judgment if you're planning to join us.
