Imagining the Size of the Universe

Planetarium
50 St. George Street
Toronto

June 18, 2015

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm, and 9:00pm

There are many misconceptions about our universe, and the most common one is also the simplest – its size. Our universe is much bigger than we imagine it to be, and only through visual aid (such as a planetarium) can one really grasp the true dimensions of it. This planetarium show will journey through the different scales of the universe, starting with familiar objects like the moon and the Earth, and ending with the furthest reaches of the observable universe.

You can buy tickets at the links below. Tickets will be available starting on June 11 at 1:00 pm. Until then, the registration site will show a greyed-out button saying “No registration required.” We apologize for the confusing notice.
