UofT Planetarium: The Life and Death of Stars
Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm, 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. This show will explore the lives of stars by visiting stellar nurseries, supernova remnants and much more!

Action Potential Lab: Galileo’s Telescope; Shakespeare’s Pen
Dan Falk
In the autumn of 1609, a new optical device found its way into the hands of an ambitious Italian mathematician, Galileo Galilei. Before long, Galileo aimed this new invention, the telescope, at the night sky – and what he saw would change the world forever. As it happens, Shakespeare and Galileo were born in the same year – but is there anything tangible to connect Galileo’s discoveries to Shakespeare’s plays? In this illustrated talk, journalist Dan Falk will explore the Shakespeare-Galileo connection.

City Skies Observing
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!

Royal Canadian Institute: Roving the Solar System: Exploring from Afar
Ralf Gellert, PhD, Department of Physics, University of Guelph
Thanks to NASA’s Mars Rovers, we know much more about our planetary neighbour than we did a decade ago. Controlled from Earth, experiments conducted by the Rover instruments reveal that Mars was once a more habitable place. A key instrument on all 4 Mars Rovers and also on the Rosetta mission lander, Philae, is the Canadian APXS experiment, a soda-can sized device that measures the composition of rocks and soils.
Co-Sponsored by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada – Toronto Centre.
