In 7 dimensions there exist special shapes that may help us unlock the mysteries of the universe. Looking for this unique geometry is challenging, but nature holds a possible solution (specifically, bubbles and thermodynamics). In this talk, Jason Lotay (University College London) will take us on a mathematical journey across multiple dimensions, exploring their role in art, science and popular culture. Poster

On August 21st, the moon will cross the Sun's path providing us with a glorious view of a partial solar eclipse right here in Hamilton. Join MSI at the Alpine Tower Field for the solar event from 1-4pm with the peak of the solar eclipse occuring at 2:31pm. **Solar Eclipse viewing glasses will be provided at a first come, first served basis. Please be aware that looking directly at the sun without protection can be damaging to the eyes.

Come see the partial solar eclipse with us at the Richmond Hill Library. This is a weather dependent event, so we hope for clear skies! We will have plenty of eclipse glasses on hand for your viewing safety, as well as video feed to watch it on monitors under the comfort of shade.

On August 21, 2017, join York University for SOLAR FAIR – an exciting celestial event where faculty, students, staff and community members will have a chance to live view the solar eclipse and the path of totality on a big screen.

On Monday August 21, a total solar eclipse will be visible in the United States. In Mississauga, the eclipse will be partial. Members of the Mississauga Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada will have telescopes set up at The Riverwood Conservancy to observe the eclipse. Properly filtered telescopes will be set up and pointed at the Sun. Hand held solar viewers will be handed out as well as information sheets.

On Monday August 21, 2017 a partial solar eclipse will be visible from Hamilton and surrounding areas. This is a wonderful opportunity to see a rare and spectacular natural event. The eclipse will last over 2½ hours, changing in appearance throughout that time, with the greatest amount of the Sun being eclipsed at 2:31 pm. At that time about 76% of the Sun will be blocked.

Join us as we celebrate the biggest cosmic event of the year, a solar eclipse! We will be safely observing from the patio of the Civic Centre Resource Library.

Join us on August 21 at the Canadian National Exhibition to view a partial solar eclipse. Get a free pair of eclipse glasses to let you view the eclipse safely and see the Sun through our solar telescopes. Meet University of Toronto astronomers to learn about the eclipse and to get all your burning astronomy questions answered. See live streams of the eclipse from regions of totality and compete for prizes!

Join us at the Ontario Science Centre to safely observe the partial solar eclipse visible over Toronto.

As seen from the Earth, a solar eclipse is a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks ("occults") the Sun. This can happen only at new moon, when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth in an alignment referred to as syzygy. In a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon. - Wikipedia

The moon is between us and the sun. Without the moon in the sky at night, deep sky objects are easier to observe.
