Let’s Celebrate International Astronomy Day!

Every year the Faculty of Science at York University joins forces with Main Street Markham to present Science Rendezvous at the award-winning Markham Farmers’ Market.

Ryerson’s Science Rendezvous offers hands-on activities and demonstrations in many scientific areas. We have activities for young children, teens and adults. Come on out to the Kerr Hall quad in the heart of Ryerson's campus, and enjoy a day outdoors with science.

Celebrate International Astronomy Day at the Ontario Science Centre!

Our guest speaker for this meeting will be Alanna Mitchell. Alanna is the author of The Spinning Magnet, her most recent book, all about the Earth’s magnetic field. Part history, part science, it explores all we know about one of the most important and least understood parts of our planet. From our discoveries about the connection between magnetism and electricity to the possibility that we are about to undergo a pole reversal, Alanna brings a spirited talk about this fascinating subject off the page onto our stage.

We are a go for Friday. Please remember to dress warmly. Note also that the sky may be cloudy to start with but should clear around 9:00pm.

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!

Join us at the Ontario Science Centre this week for solar observing on the TELUSCAPE observing pad. This is the area in front of the Science Centre's entrance. We use specialized telescopes that are safe to aim at the Sun. We will be set up from Monday to Saturday from 10:00am-12:00pm daily. Check our home page for go/no-go calls as this event is weather dependent.
