Carswell Astronomical Observatory<\/a> (AICO) is drawing record crowds \u2013 not just from students, but from across Toronto\u2019s astronomy community.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason isn\u2019t a rare celestial event, but a new partnership with the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada\u2019s Toronto Centre (RASCTO). For the first time, the observatory\u2019s powerful one-metre telescope is open to RASC members and the public, marking a shift in how the University shares the night sky.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2021\/12\/Elaina-Hyde.jpg\" alt=\"Elaina Hyde\" class=\"wp-image-297414\" style=\"width:389px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2021\/12\/Elaina-Hyde.jpg 473w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2021\/12\/Elaina-Hyde-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2021\/12\/Elaina-Hyde-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Elaina Hyde<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re seeing new faces and new energy,\u201d says observatory director <strong>Elaina Hyde<\/strong>, an associate professor in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Faculty of Science<\/a> who notes that RASC members are now applying for telescope time and joining York-led public observing sessions at Downsview Park. The partnership, she says, is changing the atmosphere at 快播视频 \u2013 making astronomy more open and the conversations more lively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shift is especially apparent during York\u2019s Recreational Astronomy Nights, a monthly event typically held on the first Wednesday of each month. Hosted in collaboration with RASC Toronto Centre, these sessions invite everyone \u2013 students, amateur astronomers and those who are simply curious \u2013 to gather in person or online for presentations, tutorials and hands-on demonstrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving the Recreational Astronomy Nights at York gives students an opportunity to meet RASC members who can communicate their enthusiasm for astronomy,\u201d says Ralph Chou, executive officer for RASC Toronto Centre. He sees these monthly gatherings as \u201ca form of citizen science that complements what the students are learning about in their classes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a niche campus event, Recreational Astronomy Night now draws a broader crowd and encourages deeper conversations about the cosmos. The next session, <a href=\"https:\/\/rascto.ca\/events\/recreational-astronomy-night-may-7-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">set for May 7<\/a>, will give the public a chance to experience this new dynamic firsthand, with RASC members and York astronomers sharing projects and tips in Room 317 of the Petrie Science Building, as well as online. After the meeting, visitors can join weekly public stargazing in York\u2019s Arboretum \u2013 another example of how the partnership is making astronomy more accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach reflects a broader trend in Canadian science outreach: making research infrastructure available to the public, even in urban environments where light pollution is a constant adversary. York\u2019s advanced telescopes offer a rare, hands-on look at the night sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe observatory\u2019s facilities give the public a hands-on experience of looking at celestial objects with state-of-the-art equipment,\u201d Chou says. \u201cEven in the city, you can still make useful observations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That spirit of openness will be on full display at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/observatory\/astrofair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">York AICO Open Air Astro Fair<\/a>, planned for the first clear night between June 24 and July 4. Running from 5 to 11 p.m. at the Keele Campus, the fair will feature solar observing, night sky viewing, planetarium shows, interactive booths and activities for all ages. RASC Toronto Centre will be on hand with telescopes for both solar and nighttime viewing, while York\u2019s own astronomers will lead workshops and demonstrations throughout the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any stargazing event, success will depend on the cooperation of the weather \u2013 a perennial challenge for astronomers in Toronto. For now, Hyde and Chou are watching the forecast \u2013 and the growing crowds \u2013 as York\u2019s astronomy community looks upward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how
