Allan I. Carswell Astronomical Observatory, York University

The Allan I. Carswell Astronomical Observatory is located on York University's Keele Campus. It originally opened in 1969. The observatory owns two telescopes housed in separate domes: a 60-centimetre (24-inch) Cassegrain reflector and a one-metre (39-inch) custom-built telescope — the largest at a university in Canada. Come and discover the research that happens here and learn about being an astronomer.
