Imagine you’re on a lunar base, ready explore to the Moon. Your mission is to document a region of the Moon of your choice – maybe the Ocean of Storms, the Sea of Tranquility, the Peninsula of Thunder, or the Bay of Rainbows. What will you find there? The Moon Mission workshop, led by Bettina Forget, inspires participants to dive into research, fire up their imagination, and experiment with new forms of expression to create a piece that bridges art and science using a range of materials.

It's Time for Space! Join us on July 20th for SpaceTime, an all-ages inclusive celebration of space, curiosity, and discovery.

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing at this special Star Party. Members of RASC (The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Toronto Centre) will be on hand to show you how their telescopes work and point out some of the celestial objects visible in the night sky, including Jupiter. Hear from experts about the latest in lunar science, space-themed musical performances and Moon-inspired activities. Hosted by Global News Toronto chief meteorologist Anthony Farnell, with special guests:

In the late 1920s, Edwin Hubble discovered that distant galaxies were receding away from us, implying that the universe itself was expanding. Seventy years later, it was found that the universe is not only getting bigger, but increasing in its rate of expansion. The mysterious substance behind this accelerated expansion has been given the name 'dark energy', and its discovery earned three cosmologists the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2011. For the month of September, Liam Connor, a Ph.D.

Proudly presented by the U of T Graduate Astronomy Students' Association. For the month of August, we welcome Dan Taranu, a Ph.D. candidate in his final year of studies to discuss the stark reality of human space exploration. The longest journey ever undertaken by humans beyond our own planet has been to our nearest neighbour - the moon, just 400,000 kilometres away. Even mankind's most distant space probes are now 'merely' 18 billion kilometres from Earth. But far beyond even these enormous distances lies an immense, unexplored galaxy with billions of stars.

The AstroCATS Committee has sadly decided that proceeding with AstroCATS 2017 is not in the best interests of the RASC Hamilton Centre, attendees, and especially for our valued vendors. We will however, proceed with the very popular Canadian Astrophotography School (CAPS).

Our friends from the North York Astronomical Association invite you to attend their annual star party, August 8-11, 2013. 

Join the Ottawa Centre during Canada's 150th anniversary for the 2017 RASC General Assembly. See the GA website for more details.
