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!

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 observe from the Long Sault Conservation area, an hour outside of Toronto. We meet around dusk once a month in the parking lot for views only seen in dark sky conditions. We hold this event on the first clear night of our week-long window. Check our homepage for GO/NO-GO calls as this event is weather dependent.

Families will be introduced to the wonders of astronomy through a presentation on a variety of exciting astronomy topics, followed by age-appropriate celestial activities and a demonstration of the 74" telescope. If the sky is clear the dome will be opened and the telescope pointed to an interesting celestial object for the visitors to view. All participating family members must be registered and any participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a registered adult.

Planetarium Live! is an interactive journey through the cosmos! Every episode we learn some new concepts in Astronomy while encouraging questions and audience participation. This Episode will feature some of what's happening in space right now, as well as a look at the inner planets of our solar system! As always, questions are encouraged!

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.

Fifty years ago, the third mission was launched to land two people on the Moon. On the third day of the flight, a problem occurred which cancelled the plans for the lunar landing and instead, started a race to get the astronauts home alive. In this talk, Mississauga Centre RASC president Randy Attwood will detail all the things which had to go right to save the Apollo 13 crew. SkyNews and The RASC are also happy to welcome a special guest lined up to answer questions after the talk — Apollo 13 lunar module pilot Fred Haise. You don’t want to miss this!

Join us on April 11 to celebrate Yuri’s Night as a global community!

Is it possible to weigh the entire Universe? And if it is, why does it matter? The fascinating answer lies with a telescope and team with roots at U of T and the Dunlap Institute. In recent years, balloon-borne telescope "SuperBIT" has been making serious scientific strides at relatively low costs, and there's much more to come. On Thursday, April 9th at 7 pm ET, Astrophysicist and SuperBIT researcher Mohamed Shaaban will explain this telescope's amazing findings, and future potential.
