SURPRISE!

IT’s OUR BIRTHDAY!

Join us for a special 10th Birthday celebration for Friends of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory. Come visit during the daytime too!

We’ll have the usual Dome Tours and Planetarium Shows. But we’ll also have cupcakes, face painting, crafts and more.

Daytime admission 1-6pm is free.

Signing of the License to Occupy granting the Friends occupancy of the Centre of the Universe and the Plaskett Dome for public outreach.

Then, join us in the evening for a special anniversary star party. Listen to a panel discussion with the founding members of the Friends, and learn about science outreach in your community. We’ll review our progress and the astronomical discoveries of the last 10 years!

All the usual things too, including live imaging from the Plaskett Telescope after dark, weather permitting.

Tickets will be available Monday at 5pm on this page 12 days prior to the event.
