Current Astronomy Events in Eastern CanadaSaint Mary's University: Burke-Gaffney Observatory
Tour "Seaching the sky for the planets, the stars, and other astronomical objects reveals the beauty of our Universe! Saint Mary's Astronomy staff and faculty regularly offer presentations on astronomy and guided tours of the university's observatory to local community and school groups. "Tours take an hour and a half, and they typically happen after dark on Monday evenings throughout the year. The evening begins with a 45 minute slide show entitled "The Solar System" or "The Universe" (depending on the level of the group). The tour then proceeds up to the top of the campus' 22-story highrise where the observatory is located. There, on clear nights, you can see celestial objects such as star clusters, planets, nebulas, galaxies, and the moon. On cloudy nights, the operation of the observatory's telescope is explained." For more information, visit the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada: Meetings typically feature a visiting astronomer to give a longer talk in their area of expertise, but may also include shorter talks by members of the centre. Visit each centre's website for more information or for changes in the schedule.
