Solar System Social is a space-themed speaker series that brings exciting ideas and research from the field of planetary science to the general public. This event is our two year anniversary!

CANPEAKS and local astronomer Tim Claydon from the Durham Region Astronomical Association, welcome you to Connect with the Stars! This is an event where you'll get to view the stars through a professional telescope, go on a guided hike, and gather together as Tim takes us though the Galaxy with his lightsaber (aka his laser pointer). Hot drinks & light snacks will be provided.* Please bring the following items:

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

An opportunity for middle and high school students to meet active members in the Canadian Space Community within the G.T.A! Thinking about applying to space or aerospace programs after high school? Curious to know what types of jobs exist in the space industry? Meet and interact with members from the local space community, including students in post-secondary programs. Learn about all the different types of space themed programs offered at different universities within the G.T.A., and robotic competitions available to students!

The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Toronto Centre, invites new members and their family who are also members, to join an orientation get together – First Light 2019.

Want to know more about the state of the art of space exploration technology? Bursting with questions on how rovers and satellites work? Not sure what to ask, but just want to learn more? Then come on down to ASX's graduate student panel! This 13th of March, we're featuring three U of T M.A.Sc candidates, each one with applied experience in space exploration technology. Feel free to come with your own questions, or lend an ear to our guided discussion. As usual, everyone with any amount of background knowledge is welcome!

Rocket away from the Earth on a tour through our solar system and beyond. Starting with highlights from the Toronto night sky, this show will take you on an epic cosmic journey. We’ll follow human spacecraft on their visits to the planets and moons of the solar system, then warp far beyond the furthest reaches of human exploration to visit other stars, galaxies, and the very edge of the observable universe. This show is aimed at children as part of our March break programing, intended for audiences aged 4–12 and families.

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!

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).

Join us at the Ontario Science Centre for our monthly 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. Check our home page on the Friday prior for go/no-go calls as this event is weather dependent.
