Are aliens real? What are UFOs? Are there planets that can support life? Get your answers and more at our symposium on extraterrestrial life

Enter a Digital Portable Planetarium and take a journey through the universe led by a DDO astronomer. We’ll tour the night sky, travel through space, and see immersive full dome movies. The unscripted format will allow guests to experience a variety of topics. Ask our astronomer questions and see the answers in a planetarium setting. Please note that all guests will sit on a clean floor. A registered adult must accompany all registered participants under the age of 16.

Dr.Guan will walk through how mapping the sky in millimeter has significantly advanced our knowledge of the universe, ranging from its early history and fundamental building blocks, to the magnetic field morphology of our galaxy.

Comedians! Scientists! Celebrities! Musicians! Canada’s most celebrated astronaut hosts the world’s most impressive, funny, and talented people. Afghan heroes, British robotics experts, Hollywood actors, Australian corpse farmers or even a pair of Spanish cyborgs, you never know who’s going to show up. Now in its sixth sell-out year, it guarantees to be a wild return. It’s fun, it’s intelligent, it’s the best night in the city. You don’t want to miss it.

This meeting will be IN PERSON at the Ontario Science Centre and ON LINE as well. Join us for our monthly recreational astronomy night meeting. This is where our members get to show their latest projects or give tutorials and tips on just about everything to do with astronomy.
