Bayside Astronomy

Bayside Astronomy Free astronomy program from Canada Day till Labour Day! Come here for program updates, cancellations and more. Mondays and Wednesdays are both at Miller lake.

Learn about preserving dark skies, and look through our telescopes to see Jupiter, Saturn's rings, galaxies, nebulae, lunar craters and more! Bayside Astronomy is a free program that seeks to educate the public on the wonders of astronomy, the benefits of dark sky lighting and the need to reduce light pollution. Our celestial tours start the Friday of Canada Day all the way to the end weekend of L

abour Day. Bayside Astronomy will be running five days a week during this time. Our main location is the POD by the Lion's Head marina, it will be active on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday we're located at Singing Sands on Dorcas Bay road, the telescopes will be down near the beach at the end of the boardwalks. Mondays will be at Miller's Family Camp near the docks, and Wednesdays will be at the Summerhouse Park docks past the gate. We start at sunset. We will (as long as it's not too cloudy!) show you the rings of Saturn, the stripes of Jupiter's chaotic atmosphere, and the sights of distant galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters! We have a lot to show, and only so much time to do it, so we hope to see you there this summer!

🪐 We are officially done for the season! 🔭 See you again around July 1st, summer 2027!
