Nuclear Physics Night at the Observatory

You are invited to celebrate Nuclear Science Week at the Rothney Astrophysical Observatory (RAO). Learn about the nuclear physics in Canada’s recent Nobel Prize quark stars, the periodic table, and explore the uses of radiation in medicine at a free public lecture, as our researchers explain why nuclear science research is critical to Canada’s future. If the sky is clear there will also be an opportunity to view the night sky with the observatory’s research telescopes. Free of charge
