$Speaker Series Talk - The Cosmos \u2013 A Complex & Orderly Universe$

Join members from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Winnipeg Centre for a presentation about the amazing universe that we live in. Discover the moon and planets, star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies like never before. Learn about solar and lunar eclipses, lightyears and parsecs, constellations and occultations, and Manitoba's own Dark Sky Preserve. A showcase of different telescopes and binoculars that amateur astronomers use to observe and image the sky will be on display. If weather permits, we will host some outdoor observing.
This talk can be attended in-person or online.
This event is a fundraiser for The Friends of the Living Prairie Museum. Proceeds from all tickets and donations will support education and conservation work at Living Prairie Museum.
