hi! our monthly lecture isn't taking place this week, but is instead taking place next week: friday september 19th at the @spacecentreyvr.bsky.social! for this lecture we're asking you to get tickets - which are free - just so we can keep track of seating! 🔗: www.eventbrite.ca/e/rasc-vanco...

reminder that the perseid meteor shower will peak over the next few nights. if not for the dastardly moon being close to full, this is usually the marquee meteor shower of the year - unfortunately, we're unable to do anything about the moon. we've tried. but we hope you'll still get out there!

coming up this thursday evening (July 31st)! join our LPA (Light Pollution Abatement) Chair, Leigh, at the Italian Cultural Centre in East Vancouver for a 7pm lecture on light pollution (it's bad) to help close out their *free* exhibition, "The Planets Within: A Fibre Cosmology" details below⤵️

unfortunately, our speaker for tomorrow night's monthly lecture has come down with something and is unable to present. as such, we'll be postponing this month's talk, sorry for the inconvenience! rest assured, starry nights up at SFU will still be happening if/when possible!

There uh, sure is a lot of stuff going on at the Bad Website! Instead of focusing on that, how about coming out to a free lecture this Thursday night at SFU? I know you want to. www.meetup.com/astronomy-13...
