RASC is partnering with Explore Scientific to bring you a star party of epic proportions! Explore Scientific will be livestreaming throughout the day on their channels (list and links available here).

Announcing a Special Event at the Allan I. Carswell Observatory: Jupiter and Saturn - The Great Conjunction of 2020, Dec 21 from 4:00pm Toronto local time! A conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn only happens about once every 20 years (which is why it is called a great conjunction). Don’t miss out on this great view. Tune into the Allan I. Carswell Observatory’s YouTube page at 4:00pm on Dec 21, 2020 and enjoy the show!

Join us, from the comfort of your home! Join science writer, astronomer, geophysicist, planetary scientist and RASC member Chris Vaughan in exploring the night sky! He’ll show you what’s up in the sky tonight and answer your space-related questions! Depending on the weather, you may even be able to see views of the sun through our solar scope! Deadline to register for this program is Thursday December 17, 2020 at 3:00pm. Prior to the start of the program you will be emailed information on the virtual program links and any specific information relating to your program.

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).

Rick Foster, Claudio Oriani and Blake Nancarrow will join Andrew Reid and Ward LeGrow with live views of Saturn and Jupiter conjunction on Dec 18, 2020.

Join us online to learn basic astronomy that you can do on your own from your backyard! We'll be hosting introductory astronomy courses every other Tuesday at 3:30pm EDT. They'll give you the tools to learn astronomy on your own at home, along with some observing goals to try. All you need is your computer! A pair of binoculars will help, but are not necessary.

The Origins Institute in partnership with the McMaster Alumni Association invite you to an online public lecture with Dr. Natalie Hinkel.
