Queen’s Observatory Open House — Sat 2026 September 19

Our next Open House will take place on Saturday, September 19, at 7:30 pm in Ellis Hall Auditorium at Queen’s University.

The featured speaker this month is James Barron, a PhD Candidate at Queen’s. He will present “Cosmic Engines: The Lives and Deaths of Massive Stars”.

The presentation will be followed by a tour of the Queen’s Observatory, where visitors will have the chance to view the planets and/or other celestial objects with our telescopes. The tour will also include a visit to the Arthur B. McDonald Canadian Astroparticle Physics Research Institute.

The Open House presentations are hybrid events that can also be joined virtually over zoom: https://queensu.zoom.us/j/92254657437?pwd=WqwYIrvgWxx9ezNhOABF9quNWFdjao.1
