Description
NOTE: The new later start times tonight now that we are on Daylight Time again.
On clear Friday evenings, the rooftop telescope Observing Deck at the TELUS World of Science is open for stargazing. The program is suitable for all ages. No reservation is required - just show up!
During 2010 the Observing Deck will be open on other nights for special events, and on many holidays during the afternoon for solar observing. Check the Events Page for details.
Mars and Saturn will be the main attractions tonight.
Dress warm as the telescopes are outside. An adjacent Classroom provides a place to warm up and to watch astronomy videos.
However, during winter, Friday Night Stargazing is 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!
