Introduction: |
Often times in the history of science, women's contributions can go unnoticed or underappreciated. Taking time to shine a spotlight on what we have learned about our Universe thanks to some incredible women can give us a more complete understanding of who is behind the telescope. Join us in discussing astronomers such as Vera Rubin, Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Jocelyn Bell Burnell, among many others, exploring the history of astronomy, and learning about our Universe through each of their discoveries. We strongly encourage visitors to the Planetarium to wear masks for the duration of the show as the space is small and enclosed.

COVID-19 UPDATE AS OF JUNE 1, 2022:
Thank you for your interest in the William J. McCallion Planetarium. We are now once again taking private group show bookings and have resumed our public show schedule on Wednesday evenings. Should you have any specific inquiries or would like to book a show, please reach out to planetarium@physics.mcmaster.ca.
To ensure that we are conducting our reopening plan as safely as possible, we strongly encourage all visitors to the Planetarium to wear masks for the duration of the show as the space is small and enclosed (note: McMaster also strongly encourages visitors to wear masks while inside buildings on campus according to their most recent update).
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we continue to adapt to the guidelines laid out by McMaster to ensure a safe reopening. We are privileged that we will soon be able to host you in our space once again. Please direct your concerns and questions to: planetarium@physics.mcmaster.ca.
Sincerely,
The McCallion Planetarium team
