Speaker: Dr. Suresh Sivanandam

Join Bill Nye for a night of comedy and science.

Christine Wilson, Ph.D., Department of Physics and Astronomy, McMaster University Explore nearby infant stars and young galaxies at the edge of the universe as seen through the radio-eyes of the ALMA telescope, the largest astronomical observatory on the planet. Co-sponsored by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada – Mississauga Centre

Cameron Smith, author, anthropologist The discovery of countless exoplanets and new ideas in propulsion physics have resurrected international interest in the ancient concept of humanity traveling far beyond Earth. Such voyages will take place over many generations, requiring careful attention to both biological and cultural change over time. In this talk Cameron Smith will outline the foundations of a biocultural science of long-term space settlement.

Come explore the solar system from inside the library! The Ontario Planetarium, a traveling domed star theatre, will be presenting a show in the library auditorium for children of all ages and their caregivers.

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!

Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage are back at it again with the return of MythBusters – Behind the Myths. Their new show promises to be an outrageous evening of entertainment featuring brand new on-stage experiments, behind-the-scenes stories and some of your all-time favourites. A new immersive video experience will keep you bolted to your seat! 

Speaker: Dr Rachel Friesen, David Dunlap Institute "With 66 radio dishes operating as a single telescope located 5 km above sea level on the Chajnantor plateau in northern Chile, the ALMA observatory was designed to probe fundamental questions about our universe, from the formation of galaxies to planets. I will talk about why we built ALMA, how it works, and describe some of my own work with ALMA studying the earliest stages of star formation."

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm, 9:00pm

Once a month, we invite someone from the scientific community to share their expertise and latest research.  A Half-Century of Astronomy Outreach: Stories, Reflections, and Lessons Learned Dr. John Percy, University of Toronto Professor Emeritus, Astronomy and Astrophysics I will review and update my half-century of experience in astronomy outreach in Canada and beyond, the organizations in which I have served, and the factors that have contributed to success -- notably partnership.

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