http://www.physics.yorku.ca/observatory/index.html Online Public Viewing In celebration of York University's 50th Birthday as well as the world wide celebrations for the International Year of Astronomy, the Observatory is pleased top offer an online viewing experience. The campus observing facilities will be available to the public, online, every Monday night of the year for 2 hours. Not only will images from the 40 cm and 60 cm reflecting telescopes be transmitted to the website, images from a wide-field refractor as well as the campus All-sky Meteor camera will be visible. An interactive chat session will allow questions from the public to be answered by members of the Observatory team who will be hosting this experience. Depending on the observing conditions, requests will be taken and if possible, will be added to the viewing live. Click here to go to the online viewing website. Enjoy! Public Viewing The Observatory welcomes public interest and highly promotes the field of astronomy to those who are interested. Our public viewing program runs all year round and is popular with the local and visiting communities. On public viewing nights, visitors are able to observe selected celestial objects in the presence of friendly staff, in addition to engaging in various on-hand presentations. The observatory is open regardless of weather conditions, even though viewing through the telescope is limited to clear skies. If it's cloudy, drop in for a slide show, a planetarium show, and a tour featuring both of our telescopes. Visits to the Observatory are free. However, donations are kindly appreciated. See one of the staff if you wish to make a donation.
