Royal Astronomical Society of Canada: Toronto Centre

The recent discovery of gravitational waves marks the dawn of a new field of astronomy and provides new opportunities to study several elusive systems in the Cosmos.

COVID-19 got you down? Getting bored sitting at home in self-isolation? Come take a look at the stars from the comfort of your own home!

Due to the temporary closure of the Ontario Science Centre until April 5th, this event has been cancelled.

In this talk Dr. Roberto Abraham will do his best to give you an astronomical perspective on Life, the Universe, and Everything.

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 are sad to announce that, as a precaution to protect against COVID-19, we will be cancelling Astronomy on Tap for March 20.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis and the suspension of in-person classes at UTM, we have cancelled this meeting.

The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Toronto Centre, invites new members and their family who are also members, to join an orientation get together – First Light 2020.

Explore humanity's search for meaning in an evolving universe with the world-renowned physicist and best-selling author of The Elegant Universe.

Have you ever looked through a telescope? Take a tour of the night sky through a telescope and snap a photo or two of your favourite celestial body.

The epoch of 'Cosmic Dawn', when the first stars and galaxies were born, about a hundred million years after the Big Bang - is considered the 'final frontier' of research in cosmology today.

The skies look clear so it's time to grab our telescopes and meet at front campus with UTAAS!

It's midterm season and we need a healthy distraction from studying. 

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.

You’ve likely heard of quantum computing. This emerging form of technology harnesses counter-intuitive properties of the subatomic realm to perform tasks that would overwhelm even today’s most powerful “classical” computers.

Interested in space technologies and careers in the field? This is the event for you!

Join "professional Martian" Dr. Tanya Harrison and "geographer of space" Dr. Danny Bednar as they discuss the ongoing impacts of the Moon landing on human imagination, ambition, and achievement. Moderated by Dr. Sara Mazrouei.

Where is the line drawn between 20th century science fiction and 21st century science fact?

Panel Discussion on Inclusion and Allyship in STEM

Quantum physics has taken its position with rocket science in pop culture as a shorthand for frighteningly complicated science.

In this talk and slide show, Michael Watson will discuss his 2018 and 2019 trips to Australia, which included several nights of stargazing and astrophotography from the dark skies of the Australian Outback.
