Our Special Space(s) - Astronomy Basics

Join us for a collaboration between the Ontario Nature’s Youth Counsil, AU, and ASX, for the intersection between sustainability and astronomy! Youth Council members Chloe Chow and Riley Grossutti will be combining the topics of conservation and astronomy in this panel. Topics include discussions about how wildlife use stars for navigation, the challenges they face, as well as solutions or best practices to reduce these risks. Find out how astronomy has been incorporated throughout nature for millennia before recent technologies! The talk will take place from 7-7:30, and the panelists will hold a Q&A from 7:30-8pm. ⭐️ 🌻
