Quench your thirst for astronomy! On Friday, November 10, at The Great Hall! It'll be another fun evening of pints, astronomy news, mind-expanding talks, games, prizes, and Dunlap merchandise for sale! Plus, following all the talks, there will be plenty of time for you to have all your cosmic questions answered by astronomers from the University of Toronto.

Tommy Thompson Park has the lowest light pollution of any locale in the City of Toronto. Come take advantage of a unique opportunity to learn about and view deep space! The night begins with an indoor presentation preparing you to immerse yourself in the wonders of the Milky Way and other galaxies. From there, we shuttle you 4 km to the south end of the Leslie Street Spit, where astronomers will share their expertise and telescopic views. What’s better than a night under the stars?

As a child, Quebec native Pauline Gagnon dreamed of understanding what the universe was really made of. As an adult, she studied exactly that, working at the largest experiment ever built, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. In her role as a Senior Research Scientist, based at Indiana University and working at CERN, she searched for dark matter particles in the decays of the famous Higgs boson, in the form of hypothetical particles called dark photons.

Join us at the Ontario Science Centre for our monthly Solar Observing on the TELUSCAPE observing pad. This is the area in front of the Science Centre's entrance. We use specialized telescopes that are safe to aim at the Sun. Check our home page on the Friday prior for go/no-go calls as this event is weather dependent.

The night sky is shared by everyone on Earth and every culture has its own experience with the stars and sky. In this special AstroTour event, you’ll explore the night sky from the perspective of the Indigenous people of North America.

The quest for ever-clearer views of the sky has driven astronomers to put telescopes in some pretty remote places, ranging from arid deserts, to the tops of mountains, and even the middle of Antarctica. 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.

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! MC – Jennifer Colbourne (@Raccoonologist) Bibaswan Ghoshal, Mount Sinai (@bibaswanghoshal)

Join us as Dr. John Percy, Professor Emeritus, Astronomy and Astrophysics at University of Toronto discusses how Toronto became a "centre of the universe" for astronomical research, education, and outreach.

Come out and observe the universe at the Riverwood Conservancy! Join members of the Mississauga Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada as they set up large telescopes to look at the Moon, planets and stars.

A century ago, Gustav Holst had 7 planets to inspire his composition, The Planets. With Earth, these were the known worlds. Holst evoked the planets’ astrological characteristics, assigned in the distant past by sky watchers trying to make sense of their world.

International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN) is an annual world-wide public event that NASA organizes to help celebrate, appreciate, and understand our Moon. BeSpatial Consulting is proud to host InOMN in the City of Mississauga! Join us on October 28th in the Frank Bean Lounge at Mississauga Valley Community Centre from 6:30pm to 9:00p and learn about our Moon through various activities.
