What is the sound of a twinkling star? Can planets keep a beat? How loud was the big bang?

Dr. Arthur B. McDonald (Nobel Physics Laureate, 2015) will talk about subatomic physics and the search for Dark Matter at a level accessible to the general public.

What’s next for Earth and space exploration? Explore aspects of expert missions directly from the entrepreneurs, aerospace engineers and scientists working on new technologies to advance space research. Learn about their cutting-edge missions to combine clinical medicine with innovation for space exploration, build the Internet in space, help design the next generation of small satellite constellations and networks, advance robotics technology and more! Guests include industry leaders Dr.

Explore the universe with members of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. Telescopes will be set up to provide amazing views of the Moon, the planets and more! Raindate is set for Wednesday August 7.

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:15pm The stars in the night sky seem unchanging and eternal, and have remained the same for the history of human civilization. However, over millions and billions of years, new stars are born, live out their long lives, and eventually die in a blaze of glory. In this show, we will be exploring the lives of stars by visiting stellar nurseries, supernova remnants and much more!

In order to deliver world-class programming, we partnered with Indus Space to bring you a summer program like no other: All About Space!

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:10pm, 9:15pm

Everyone is invited to join us and Durham Skies for stargazing at the edge of Lake Ontario. Take a free look through different kinds of telescopes (including solar-filtered scopes) to get close-up looks at sunspots, craters on the Moon, and planets visible in the current night sky. Peer into deep space and try your hand at spotting faint star clusters and nebulae. You can even bring your own telescope along and we'll give you expert advice on how to use it better.

Fourteen billion years ago, the universe was little more than a cloud of hot hydrogen gas. Patrick Breysse will tell the story of how that cloud of gas evolved into all of the galaxies, stars, and planets we see around us today. In the process, he'll explain some of how astronomers study the history of the universe, and how telescopes are secretly time machines that let us look directly into the distant past. He'll also talk about some of the great mysteries that remain in this story, and how we're working in Toronto and elsewhere to solve them.

Showtimes: 11:00am, 12:30pm

Let's explore High Park's amazing and mysterious bat populations and the astronomical wonders above us with the help of our telescope!

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.
