Centre of the Universe

Many of you who live in Toronto may think that you are the Centre of the Universe but in fact the Centre of the Universe lives in Victoria! The Centre of the Universe (CU for the locals) is the astronomy interpretive centre located on Observatory Hill next to NRC's Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics.

At the CU you can tour the 1.8 metre Plaskett telescope (it was the largest telescope in the world when it was built), try some of the interactive displays, or experience a special theatre presentation - the Falling Asteroid Blues, the Backpacker’s Guide to the Universe, or another one of the entertaining multimedia shows. The CU hosts star parties everynight this summer and you can do some awesome star gazing through one of the CU telescopes.
