We don't often look forward to rain here at the observatory, but we're cancelling Starry Nights tonight due to wildfire smoke. Stay safe and healthy, everyone and keep your fingers crossed for clear skies next week!

The Trottier Observatory will be closed for Good Friday so there will be no Starry Nights this week. In the meantime, the forecast is looking good for aurora tomorrow night! The best time to view will be around midnight, away from city lights.
