Day and night are equally long.

Ever wondered about Cosmology? This talk takes one through the Big Bang theory, the proof that is out there, and basically the past, present, and future of our Universe. Come hear an expert from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada talk about what cosmology means to you.

Join John Gauvreau of the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers as he takes us on a virtual tour of the universe.

In January of 2016, astronomers presented evidence that a giant planet may be lurking far beyond Neptune, quietly waiting to be found. If it exists, 'Planet 9' would be the first solar system planet to be discovered in over 170 years, with all due respect to the fallen Pluto. In this talk, we'll examine the case for Planet 9, learn about the latest efforts to detect it and figure out if it is going to kill us all. Hint: no.

The quest for ever-clearer views of the sky has driven astronomers to put telescopes in some pretty remote places, from arid deserts to the mountain tops and even the middle of Antarctica. Professor Keith Vanderlinde talks about his work with the 10m South Pole Telescope and why he undertook an 11-month "winterover" working in Antarctica.

Science Literacy Week is an effort to showcase the excellence and diversity of science outreach institutions around the country. By joining forces in a one week blitz of activity, the goal is to highlight just how outstanding our scientists and science communicators are coast to coast.

Acclaimed SF author Robert J. Sawyer discusses the writer's life and craft.

Learn about Cosmology, the Big Bang theory, and the proof that is out there. Find out the past, present and future of our Universe.

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.
