Description

With the pandemic temporarily shuttering the Gustav Bakos Observatory on campus, Victor Arora is back to tell us about upcoming astronomical events and ways you can navigate the night sky from home. Face coverings are required for common areas of all University buildings, including labs, classrooms, and washrooms. A recent court decision on copyright affects the post-secondary sector. And move-in for students in residence starts earlier this year.
