About this Event

Science Under the Stars is a family-friendly introduction to astronomy, hosted every last Tuesday of the month at UBC.

Join us for our De-Stress (April) Event! Finals are over so now it’s time to relax, reset, and celebrate (guilt/pressure free)

Unwind with a cozy movie night featuring theatre-style snacks 🍿, get creative with space-themed slime-making, and weather permitting, enjoy a peaceful observation session under the night sky.

Let go of the stress of finals season and ease into summer with a fun, low-key evening. You’ve earned it!

The UBC Astronomy Club and the Department of Physics and Astronomy invite you—and your friends and family—to an inspiring night of science, curiosity, and stargazing! All ages welcome!
