What is the sound of a twinkling star? Can planets keep a beat? How loud was the big bang?

Come out and join us for an evening of laughs and science! Hear science enthusiasts to talk about their passion for science in a unique way. A song, stand-up, comedy skit, spoken word. The possibilities are endless! Food and drinks will be available for purchase. This will be an LGBTQ-forward show in honour of the venue. Host: Irene Gomes - Petite Plus, Meow - @PetitePlusMeow Runlist:

The RASC - Toronto Centre will be an active participant at the annual Winter WonderLearn held in Courtice. Indoors, we will talk astronomy to visiting families, show young astronomers how to use planispheres, distribute literature and, weather permitting, show the sun with our solar scopes outside. This Family Day, your family can enjoy a free day of fun at a festival designed to get you active, learn something new, and enjoy time together!

WPSE 2018 is an opportunity for scientists and engineers to showcase their recent findings in the field of planetary science and exploration. The event highlights the achievements of women and non-binary researchers, while offering an opportunity to discuss, challenge, network, and support their peers. Supporting #WomenInSTEM is the prime goal of this event.

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:10pm, 9:15pm 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!

See the Milky Way and galaxies with the unaided eye. Point your telescope to find the many dim deep space objects that sprinkle the sky. Away from Toronto's light pollution, there is so much to see. We usually observe from Long Sault Conservation Area, but this month we will be going to Glen Major Forest. Observing will begin around dusk in the parking lot. We will hold this event on the first clear night of our week-long window, so the exact date will be determined closer to the event.

Join us February 11 for special programming to mark International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Science is critical to addressing social and environmental challenges – it provides a framework to help us understand the world around us. And yet, according to the 2015 UNESCO Science Report, women account for only 28% of researchers across the world, and are even less represented at the higher echelons of decision-making. Women are interested and capable in STEM, so why such underrepresentation? Largely because of persisting gender stereotypes and biases.
