First public observatory in the Yukon.

The the Yukon Astronomical Society (RASC: Yukon Centre) is dedicated to popularising astronomy and to make astronomy more accessible to the general public. We work to increase science literacy, making science and scientists less intimidating. We do this by hosting events at our observatory and elsewhere around the Yukon. We also visit K-12 classrooms to give presentations and answer students’ questions, we offer help with telescopes and other astronomical equipment, and we generally act as a resource for Yukoners looking to learn more about both theoretical and observational astronomy. Additionally, we have some limited availability for hosting private tours of the sky, either at our observatory or somewhere else. Please contact us for details if interested.
