We occasionally hold Star Parties during important astronomical events! While RASC National may not have any scheduled, keep an eye on the online calendar for star parties held by RASC Centres.
You can also watch the livestreams on The RASC YouTube Channel. Livestreams will start at the same time as the webinar.

We'll be talking all about Mars! Charissa Campbell, PhD student, will be joining us to discuss her research on the red planet. Charissa's specialty is Martian clouds, and she uses the Curiosity Rover to study them! [CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER] Later in the evening we will be joined by Astronomy By the Bay, a group of RASC observers out in New Brunswick! If the sky is clear, they will be bringing us the Moon from their backyards. We can't wait to do some nighttime observing with you! |
