We are sad to announce that, as a precaution to protect against COVID-19, we will be cancelling Astronomy on Tap for March 20. This was not an easy decision to make, but we decided that it was in everyone's best interests to err on the side of safety and caution.   Astronomy on Tap T.O. will, of course, continue this year and in the future - so please continue to check out Event Horizon, our website, and social media for those dates.

Looking for a way to connect with the wider world–or maybe the wider universe during the pandemic? The Dunlap Institute and our partners from across the University of Toronto want to connect with you! Come hear about everything from old cosmic mysteries to the latest research, all from the comfort of your own couch. We’ll be presenting talks online via Zoom and YouTube.

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. Learn about the phases of the Moon, get an up-close look at the planets, and gaze at the brightest stars (weather permitting).

Join us at the Ontario Science Centre for our monthly Solar Observing on the TELUSCAPE.

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. Observations at radio frequencies have opened up very exciting prospects for studying the evolution of the universe from its earliest stages to the present time.

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.  We will be set up at front campus 8 pm!

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!

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. But do you know what that will mean for the ways you work, communicate, play, and live? Does anyone truly know? Well, no, because some very big challenges remain before quantum computers are commonplace. But for an expert perspective on how to prepare for the quantum future, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better source than Shohini Ghose.
