  • The Earth and Our Moon: Astronomy Webinar
September 27
6:30pm PDT
Audience: families

Grab the family and gather 'round!

Join the team from the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre for a family-friendly Zoom webinar and learn more about the Earth and the Moon’s shared past, and present.

We are used to seeing our Moon most nights, but what would life look like without it? Our closest neighbour may impact life on Earth more than you think.

This program is free to attend, and is presented with the support of the Canadian Space Agency.

  • Sky Alert! This one is totally cool. Neptune will be at its closest approach to Earth and will be brighter than any other time of the year plus, it will be visible all night long!

This is the best time to catch a glimpse of the planet, however, due to its extreme distance from Earth, it will appear as only a tiny blue dot unless you have an extremely powerful telescope or binoculars. Send us your Neptune photos if you capture any; we’d love to see them!

  • Did you know that spacesuits and firefighter gear use a similar fabric?

NASA significantly improved an incredibly fire-resistant polymer fabric for use in spacesuits and spacecraft that is now commonly used in firefighters’ protective gear, as well as in various civilian and military applications. The thermoplastic material protects people working in the most extreme environments or in situations where high-strength and wear resistance are required.

  • Why did the star have a crush on the sun? It was the centre of his universe.
