RASC Hamilton: The Secret Lives of Galaxies

Professor James Wadsley is a computational astrophysicist at McMaster University. He makes computer simulations of things that take millions of years to unfold on the sky. He will talk about "the secret lives of galaxies" which demonstrates the evolution of a galaxy in both what we see, and in ways we can't, over the full age of the universe.

Dark Sky Star Party (GO for Thursday)

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 polution, there is so much to see. We observe from the Long Sault Conservation area, an hour outside of Toronto. We meet around dusk once a month in the parking lot for views only seen in dark sky conditions. We hold this event on the first clear night of our week-long window, so the date and time are determined closer to.

UofT Planetarium: The Search for Planet 9…Again

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm, and 9:00pm Recently, Dr. Mike Brown (aka the Pluto Killer) announced that his group had uncovered evidence that a ninth planet may be orbiting the Sun every 1500 years. We will go on a journey through the sometimes weird history of searching for planets in our solar system and see what evidence Mike Brown has found for a ninth planet. Along the way we will answer questions like “where do planets come from?”; “is our solar system normal?” and “why isn’t Pluto the ninth planet?”
