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.

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.

Does our society have the capacity to live up to Star Trek’s optimistic, inclusive vision for humanity’s future?

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).
