It's time for another Astronomy on Tap T.O.! On Thursday, May 21st, astronomers from the University of Toronto will be back at the Tranzac Club for another fun evening of pints, mind-expanding talks, games and prizes. Plus, following all the talks and games, there'll be plenty of time and plenty of astronomers around to answer all your cosmic questions.

Can we find intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? The possibility has fired the imagination of dreamers and scientists alike. Dr. Duy Cuong Nguyen explains how astronomers are searching the heavens to turn science fiction into reality. What's Out There? Lectures in Astronomy presented in collaboration with the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Daniel Tamayo explains how a string of recent discoveries have revealed a surprising process that has transformed the surfaces of distant moons of the giant planets. The journey involves a violent history of crashing satellites and up-close images from the Cassini spacecraft. What's Out There? Lectures in Astronomy presented in collaboration with the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics.

The International Space Development Conference (ISDC) is the annual conference of the National Space Society. The conference covers several broad areas of study related to building a spacefaring civilization, including transportation to and through space, technology needed to live and work in space, and Earth-based activities to advocate for or educate others about space development.

Join award winning author and host of Discovery Science’s Meteorite Men Geoff Notkin for a special appearance at the ROM.

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.
