Starry Nights is ON from 9pm to midnight tonight at the Trottier Observatory, with views of Saturn and Neptune, the Iris Nebula, the Pinwheel Galaxy and the Double Cluster and more! Come check out our radio telescope and learn how it helps us detect evidence for dark matter. Thanks to Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Vancouver volunteers for making these events a success! https://www.sfu.ca/science/community/trottier-observatory---courtyard/starry-nights.html #sfuscience #astronomy #sfuphysics #vancouver #burnaby #TrottierObservatory

The rain has cleared so Starry Nights is ON tonight!

Kick off the long weekend with #SFUPhysics and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Vancouver tonight from 9pm to midnight at the #SFU Trottier Observatory for views of summer nebulae, star clusters, and a galaxy. Free parking is available at East Lot. https://www.sfu.ca/science/community/trottier-observatory---courtyard/starry-nights.html #sfuscience #sfuphysics #astronomy #vancouver #burnaby

Explore #space with us, from wherever you are! We'll be streaming live from the #SFU Trottier Observatory telescope this Friday, August 25 (weather depending) at Starry Nights Live Online. Volunteers from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada will join the live chat to answer your #astronomy questions. https://events.sfu.ca/event/36919-starry-nights-live-online

Please note: there will be no in-person event this Friday.

Starry Nights is on tonight! Drop in from 10pm to midnight to explore the sky with us! We'll be looking at the craters of the Moon, the M5 globular cluster, the Omicron Cygni "Hockey Stick", Alberio and several other beautiful targets. https://www.sfu.ca/science/community/trottier-observatory---courtyard/starry-nights.html #sfuscience #sfu #SFUPhysics #astronomy #ScienceOutreach #vancouver #burnaby

Roughly 8 billion years after the beginning of the universe, its expansion began to accelerate in ways that cannot be explained by Einstein’s theory of general relativity. #SFUPhysics professor Levon Pogosian and co-author Camille Bonvin are using new methods to unravel this mystery. https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kxk99/scientists-plan-to-measure-distorted-time-in-deep-space-to-probe-reality #space #cosmology #gravity #sfuscience #sfu

Starry Nights is ON tonight! Drop by the observatory from 10pm to midnight to explore objects in the night sky, and maybe catch a glimpse at a supernova! Thank you to our volunteers from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Vancouver who are always on hand to help with events.

About two decades ago scientists realized that using the #quantum properties of fundamental particles has the potential to dramatically improve the performance of our technology. What effect might that have on our daily lives? Join us tomorrow, March 28 at 5pm for our next Café Scientifique talk with #SFUPhysics prof Kero Lau. http://ow.ly/5uwr50Nt27z #sfuscience #sfu #publiclecture

Congratulations to all the 2022 recipients of SFU Excellence in Teaching Awards, including Nancy Forde and Joanna Woo from SFU Department of Physics and Diane Finegood from SFU Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology. http://ow.ly/CVSr50NeHxb
