Happy National Volunteer Week! Science Rendezvou

Happy National Volunteer Week!

Science Rendezvous would not be possible without our passionate and dedicated volunteers. Nearly 6,000 researchers, undergraduate, and graduate students make our namesake festival come to life every year, all across Canada.

Our volunteer coordinating teams commit nearly 8 months of planning to develop Science Rendezvous events in their community; often in addition to their full time employment, research, studies and teaching schedules.

We can't thank you enough for all you do 💙

Today is the day - are you ready for the eclipse?!

Today is the day - are you ready for the eclipse?!☀️🌑🌎

Check out our 2024 Eclipse Story Highlight for useful information and safety considerations.

Where are you watching tbe eclipse from? Let us know in the comments 💬

We are looking forward to the eclipse on April 8, 2024, but wanted to share some important safety considerations:

👀 Never look at the sun with your naked eye! Make sure you pick up a pair of certified solar eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2:2015 safety standard.

☀️You can also view the eclipse indirectly by projecting the sun using a pinhole projector or box projector.

🕶️ Sunglasses are not the same as eclipse glasses. No matter how dark your sunglasses are, they are NOT safe for viewing the eclipse.

🔭 Do not look at the Sun through *unfiltered* optical devices like binoculars, telescopes, or camera lenses during the eclipse even if you are wearing eclipse glasses. Eclipse glasses are designed to filter out harmful solar radiation and protect your eyes. Optical devices can concentrate the sun’s rays, burning through the filter of your eclipse glasses and causing serious eye injury.

💬 If you want to view the eclipse using an optical device, like a telescope, you should attach an appropriate solar filter to the front of the device. You should seek expert advice from an astronomer before using a filtered optical device.

Are you ready to safely experience the eclipse? ☀️🌑🌎

Did you know... On April 8, 2024, Eastern Canada will witness a total eclipse of the Sun - a once-in-a-lifetime event!

🌓 Solar eclipses happen when the Moon comes between Earth and the Sun, casting its shadow on our planet.

🌑 In a total solar eclipse, the Moon entirely covers the face of the Sun, causing the daytime sky to turn dark.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Looking directly at the Sun, whether during an eclipse or not, can cause irreversible eye damage. It is important that you wear special glasses with certified filters (ISO 12312-2:2015) and acquire them from a reputable source.
