Description
This is a special telescope viewing session at the TELUS World of Science to observe Mars at its closest to Earth in two years. Mars is at its closest now at 99 million km away. Dress warmly! See Mars thru our large 8-inch refractor.
Dress warm as the telescopes are outside. An adjacent Classroom provides a place to warm up and to watch astronomy videos.
Note that Mars Nights will be canceled if temperatures are below -20° C, even if skies are clear. This is for the safety of our equipment and the comfort of our volunteers ... and you!
