Come out and observe a rare total eclipse of the Moon 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. Observing will take place on the green in front of Chappell House. The event starts at 8:30 and is free and open to everyone. Large telescopes will be set up and pointed at the Moon as it moves into the Earth's shadow. The partial phases of the eclipse begin just after 9 pm.

Join the Dunlap Institute on the evening of Sunday, September 27, 2015 to watch the total lunar eclipse. You won’t get another chance to see this spectacular celestial phenomenon until 2019. Even better, this year’s eclipse is special because it’s taking place during a “supermoon”, when the Moon is about as close to Earth as it gets. During this time, the Moon will appear subtly larger than normal. This event is FREE but we request that guests RSVP on our Facebook Event Page.

On the evening of September 27, 2015, residents of the GTA and beyond will be able to observe a Total Lunar Eclipse during a so-called Supermoon.

In celebration of Science Literacy Week, join UTSC for an evening to view the last visible total lunar eclipse until 2019 accompanied by a series of short lectures on astronomy. On September 27, the moon will pass through Earth's shadow, blocking any direct sunlight to the moon and causing it to glow red. The eclipse will also be streamed live on screen in case of weather. Attendees will get a chance to tour UTSC's observatory and look through our telescopes. Refreshments will be provided.

The full Moon in September is traditionally referred to as the Harvest Moon, the full Moon that is temporally closest to the Autumnal Equinox (September 23 in 2015). As it turns out, this September’s full Moon represents the closest distance a full Moon gets relative to the Earth for this calendar year (a mere 356, 877 km). This makes it a so-called “supermoon” as it appears marginally larger and brighter than other full Moons throughout the year.

Join McMaster's Sidewalk Astronomy in observing the total lunar eclipse, the last of the lunar tetrad! As part of Science Literacy Week 2015, they are organizing a free public observing event for everyone. Remember to dress warmly, it's going to be a cold night! Observing is subject to the weather. Please check the website for announcements prior to the event.

Join the Ontario Science Centre on the evening of Sunday September 27 to view the last total lunar eclipse until January 2018! Rain or shine! • Witness the spectacle of the brightest and largest full Moon of the year as it moves into the Earth’s shadow and turns dark red! • Attend a 7 pm screening of the film IMAX® Hubble at the special price of $9! • Gaze at celestial objects through telescopes (weather permitting).

Roberto Abraham, University of Toronto Star Talk nights offer great talks by great speakers on astronomy, space science and sometimes, science fiction. You'll also have a chance to tour the Observatory and (weather permitting) check out the night sky through a variety of telescopes set up on the lawn and through the big scope in the Main Dome. If the weather gods are angry, you can check out the (virtual) night sky in our special Skylab. Star Talk nights run regardless of weather conditions. 

To celebrate National Science Literacy Week, University of Toronto Science & Engineering Engagement is showing the 1997 Space Exploration film: Contact followed by a Question & Answer session with: Keith Vanderlinde, Assistant Professor, Dunlap Institute and Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics Laura Newburgh, Postdoctoral Fellow, Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics
