Quench your thirst for astronomy! On Wednesday, November 18th, at the Tranzac Club! It'll be another fun evening of pints, mind-expanding talks, games and prizes with astronomers from the University of Toronto. Plus, following all the talks and games, there'll be plenty of time and plenty of astronomers around to answer all your cosmic questions.

Explore the universe with members of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. Telescopes will be set up to give you amazing views of our Moon, the planets and more!

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!

We will be at the Ontario Science Centre this coming Saturday morning, as long as skies are clear.

Speaker: Peter Sutherland

What we can see in the universe represents only the tip of the iceberg of what's out there. Dr. Sean Tulin (York University, Department of Physics & Astronomy) discusses the physics of the dark side: dark matter, dark energy, and—perhaps—dark forces that guide the past, present and future of our universe. The Science of Science Fiction series is presented in collaboration with York University's Faculty of Science.

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.

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

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.
