Join #popscope for an Astronomy Viewing!

#popscope, it is a volunteer-led urban astronomy movement that started in Ottawa, Ontario 2012! Since then its approach to inclusive democratic astronomy gazing has spread to cities and countries around the world, with passionate volunteers hosting over 500 free events open to the public. We are delighted to return to Ottawa and host another free star-gazing event for conference-goers and Ottawa residents. Weather permitting, we will be admiring the Moon and any visible planets and deep sky objects. The event will be cancelled/postponed in the event of heavy clouds or rain. We hope you can join us…additional binoculars, telescopes, and enthusiasm are welcome! Learn more at www.popscope.org. *Rain date: Saturday May 30, 2026 9:30 PM – 11:00 PM.
