Come join The Durham Region Astronomical Association as we celebrate Astronomy Day at the UOIT Science Rendezvous event.
On the Polonsky Commons, weather permitting, there will be Safe Solar viewing of Sunspots and Flares during the day (from 10 am to 3 pm) and views of the Moon, Saturn and other celestial objects at night (8 pm to 11 pm). Access to Polonsky Commons is through the UB (Business/IT Building) Atrium. In the UB Atrium, from 10 am to 3 pm, there will be displays and information on all things astronomical.
If you have a telescope hidden away somewhere and would like some instruction on its use, dig it out and bring it along. We'd be glad to help.
