UPDATE: 2016-05-26 Thanks to all the members who have volunteered for the Spring Work Party at the CAO. We are happy to report on the overwhelming offers to help from our membership and now the house is completely filled up (with overflow people camping as well), so we cannot accept any additional volunteers for this work party. Please keep an eye out for an announcement about a Star-B-Que to be held at the CAO in July, and mark your calendars for the Fall Work Party which is currently scheduled for the weekend of October 14 - 16, 2016

Join us for our monthly recreational astronomy night meeting. This is where our members get to show their latest projects, or give tutorials and tips on just about everything to do with Astronomy. Talks start at 7:30, socializing starts at 7:00. • Ron Macnaughton - How David Thompson Did It. Celestial Navigation Around 1790• Jim Chung - How to make your own cooled DSLR for less than $200!• Michael Watson - 2016’s Celestial Rarity: Mercury crosses the Sun

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm, and 9:00pm The stars in the night sky seem unchanging and eternal, and have remained the same for the history of human civilization. However, over millions and billions of years, new stars are born, live out their long lives, and eventually die in a blaze of glory. In this show, we will be exploring the lives of stars by visiting stellar nurseries, supernova remnants and much more! If you have questions please contact planetarium@universe.utoronto.ca

Five days of astronomical fun and discovery! Canada's largest astronomy and telescope show - AstroCATS! Check out the 57th annual General Assembly of Canada's Astronomical Society. For more information: http://events.rasc.ca/

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. Meet at the main parking lot and walk to the Chappell Lawn. Please note the event will be held on the date scheduled -- in case skies are not suitable for star-gazing on this specific date, the next day will be used as a back-up.

New Members orientation program – First Light - Spring 2016

Astronomer Christa Van Laerhoven, will discuss planets that orbit stars other than our sun. Some of these planetary systems look very different from our own!

Hover above the moon like an astronaut and get eye-to-eye with the planets. Find colourful stars, star clusters, bright nebulae and even another galaxy. Our monthly City Star Party is the place to catch universe from within the city limits at Bayview Village Park. If you don't have a telescope then you will find many astronomers who would love to share a view. If you are thinking of buying a telescope, viewing with other people's equipment is the best way to make a good choice. If you have a telescope or binoculars, please bring it!

Cloudy or clear, join us for programs including presentations in our Skylab and space-themed arts & crafts (Space Crafts!) and tours of the big telescope.

Celebrate International Astronomy Day with telescope observing, activities, crafts, and ‘Science Slam’ presentations by astronomers about strange, unbelievable, and mind-blowing discoveries in space.
