Wednesday Night Open Houses
You say you don't know a red dwarf from a black hole? A giant star from a globular cluster? Here's your chance to discover everything you've wanted to know about the sky. The UVic Observatory Open House program for this academic year has resumed in-person and will continue weekly till April 2022. Given the continued Covid restrictions, we have been advised to follow appropriate health guidelines, which are listed below. Each week, we will have discussions of astronomy headlines, a Q&A session, and viewing through the 0.2m Celestron and the 0.8m DFM telescopes (one of the largest optical telescopes on any Canadian university campus), if sky conditions permit.
When: Wednesdays May 14 to August 27 (Summer 2025)
Where: 5th floor Bob Wright Centre
- Admission is free
- Rain or shine

Special Events
When eclipses, comets, transits or other special events happen in the sky, we love to invite the community to come and experience them with us! No special events are planned right now, but we'll post the details here when the next one happens.
