Ever wonder if there's more to the Universe than meets the eye? 91��Ƭ�� (91��Ƭ��) Physics and Astronomy students and the community will have the opportunity to find out on October 5.

Every semester, 91��Ƭ��’s Physics and Astronomy department takes students on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO) — where radio waves become stories.

“It’s an opportunity to showcase a world-class astronomy research facility for the 91��Ƭ�� community,” said Ryan Ransom, Physics and Astronomy Professor. “More recently, we’ve been partnering with our astronomy colleagues at UBCO, bringing our students together for a joint tour.”

For nearly 20 years, these tours have given learners the chance to:

• Stand beside several active radio telescopes (including the iconic John A. Galt Telescope)
• Hear directly from scientists and engineers shaping the future of radio astronomy
• See how global discoveries are powered by research happening in our own backyard
  
  The experience leaves a mark. “We’ve had students tell us that the tour inspired them to take more astronomy courses,” said Ryan. “It’ just another way we can connect the classroom to big-sky speaking and show our students that the universe isn’t something we just read about.”
