Get ready for another Family Trivia Night! This time, we’re covering all things space—from stars and asteroids to black holes and dwarf planets—to celebrate International Astronomy Day. Test your smarts in four rounds of space-themed trivia, plus one round of general science trivia. Grab a piece of paper and a pencil to keep track of your answers and gather your family members for a fun and friendly competition. Prefer to work together as a team? Go for it! No matter how you play along, you’re going to have a blast.

Take a guided tour of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, including the Plaskett telescope and Centre of the Universe located in Victoria, BC.

Join us online to learn basic astronomy that you can do on your own from your backyard! We'll be hosting introductory astronomy courses every other Tuesday at 3:30pm EDT. They'll give you the tools to learn astronomy on your own at home, along with some observing goals to try. All you need is your computer! A pair of binoculars will help, but are not necessary.

The University of Guelph-Humber (UofGH) is “over the moon” to host their 4th annual Science Rendezvous (SR) event.

Join us for a virtual edition of Science Rendezvous 2021!

The Welsh Lectures in Physics have been held annually since 1975 in honour of H.L. Welsh, a distinguished former faculty member in the Physics Department. They are the major public event in the life of the Department of Physics and are intended to celebrate discoveries in physics and their wider impact. They are intended to be broadly accessible to an audience drawn from across the university, other academic institutions and the interested public.

For the first time in this series, we'll be looking for the Moon in the morning (or really late at night, if you're a night owl).
