If you are viewing the solar eclipse, make sure that you have proper glasses or have made a pinhole camera.

Observing will take place at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Eclipse! On Monday August 21, 2017, the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun, treating the National Capital Region to a partial solar eclipse. This is a rare natural phenomenon and, with help from members of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, you can safely witness this event through solar-scopes and Sun-viewers. Meet these passionate astronomical experts and astrophysicist Jesse Rogerson to learn more about the physics of the solar system. Construct your own pinhole camera, which you can then use to observe the Sun.
Telescopes will be set up from noon to 4 p.m., with the eclipse itself occurring from 1:17-3:48 p.m.Check out:

More cool free things to do this month:
I hope some of you made it out to see La Machine. I trekked out every day because I LOVE puppetry, and while I posted on Friday there were almost no dense crowds, that changed come the weekend. So, sorry if you headed down on Saturday expecting lots of space! It was VERY different from the Thursday and Friday crowds. It was packed on the weekend.
Something else cool to take the kids to: Kontinuum. If you have not taken the family yet, it is free and quite amazing. Here is the info:

Don't forget to check out the Flower Fairy Tale: Mosaicanada gardens! It is BEAUTIFUL!! And FREE (Miss. Sturgeon loves free).

Well worth the trip downtown!
La Machine is incredible! Try to see the show when both creatures are walking. Sunday evening at the War Museum will complete the story. The dragon will try to battle to get back his wings, stolen by the evil spider. The blend of music, art and robotics is astounding. Not to be missed! It looks crazy crowded in all photos you see, but it is not a dense crowd. There is a lot of space to wander and spread out. The audience is calm, polite and happy. Lots of very young children.
