SUMMARY:Summer Public Night: Titan - Ingredients for Life
DESCRIPTION:Is there life elsewhere in our solar system? Saturn’s moon Titan might hold some answers. With a thick atmosphere\, rivers and lakes of liquid methane\, and a rich supply of complex organic molecules\, Titan is one of the most compelling places in the search for life beyond Earth. Join us on Saturday\, July 18th as Prof. Catherine Neish explores what makes Titan so fascinating and what future missions might uncover. 🪐 \nSkies permitting\, our telescopes will be ready for observing – a perfect chance to spot Saturn and its moons with your own eyes on a warm summer night. 🔭 \nFREE admission\, no registration required! Drop by for a unique evening under the stars. \nVenue: Cronyn Observatory\, Western University\n Date: Saturday\, July 18th\, 2026\n Time: 8:30 to 11:00 pm \nCheck out our summer schedule: https://cronyn.uwo.ca/schedule/ \nWe hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:How do planets form?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next Stargazing Night at Cronyn Observatory! 🔭 Skies permitting\, our telescopes will be out and ready — the perfect way to spend a warm summer evening. \nThere’s plenty to see: tour the observatory\, dig into its history\, and get hands-on with our astronomy demos. We’ll kick off the night with a talk in the classroom\, exploring how planets are born. \nBefore there are planets\, there is a disk. Around young stars\, swirling clouds of gas and dust slowly clump together\, forming the very building blocks of planetary systems — including our own. This Saturday\, July 25th\, join Alice Guerras as she takes us inside protoplanetary disks: what they look like\, how astronomers observe them\, and what they reveal about how planets\, including Earth\, came to be. 🌍 \nAdmission is FREE\, and no registration is required — just drop by for a night under the stars! \nVenue: Cronyn Observatory\, Western University\n Date: Saturday\, July 25th\, 2026\n Time: 8:30 – 11:00 pm \nCheck out our full summer schedule: https://cronyn.uwo.ca/schedule/ \nWe hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:What actually happens when stars die
DESCRIPTION:Stars don’t last forever – but what actually happens when they die? The answer depends on the star: from quiet fades to catastrophic explosions that outshine entire galaxies. Join us on Saturday\, August 1st\, as Prof. Sarah Gallagher walks us through the final chapters of stellar lives\, what these dramatic endings leave behind\, and what they mean for the universe around them. 💫 \nThe evening kicks off with a talk in the classroom\, followed by a tour of the Observatory and hands-on astronomy demos. Skies permitting\, our telescopes will be ready for observing – a perfect chance to explore the night sky on a warm summer evening. 🔭 \nFREE admission\, no registration required!
