  • Thanks to the Chinese Canadian Museum @ccmuseumbcv for including us in your Mid-Autumn Moon Festival activities last weekend. ✨

The Space Centre team was on-site offering our "Roving on the Moon" workshop with our zippy little Ozobot robots. So fun! 🚀
  • Experience the magic of the cosmos like never before as you explore the mysteries of the universe after sunset.

Our evening group visits are a captivating 3-hour adventure that includes a visit to the observatory, a hands-on workshop, a live science demonstration, and a mesmerizing orientation to the night sky in our state-of-the-art planetarium.

  • OSIRIS-REx launched on Sept. 8, 2016, and arrived at asteroid Bennu on Dec. 3, 2018. It began orbiting the carbon-rich rock on Dec. 31, 2018. The spacecraft briefly touched down on Bennu in October 2020 and gathered an estimated cupful of material. Seven months later, it departed Bennu on a 1.2-billion-mile cruise back to Earth.

OSIRIS-REx is scheduled to bring the sample back to Earth today (Sept. 24, 2023) at 8:00am.

This photo from NASA, shows the OSIRIS-REx team practicing the recovery process with a mock sample return capsule.

  • Sky Alert! We’re welcoming the September equinox with open arms. The equinox occurs at 11:50pm PDT and as the sun shines directly on the equator, there will be equal parts of day and night throughout the entire world. In the Northern Hemisphere, this is also the first day of Fall, and the first day of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
