Our Sky tour guide Rob Millard
will bring us a worthwhile program regardless of the weather. If the sky is clear we will see some of the Perseid Meteor shower and hear about many different summer sky wonders. If the sky is not clear, Rob’s slide show and depth of knowledge will not disappoint as he explains in detail the reasons for the increased visibility of the Aurora Borealis in the past year among other cool things you didn’t know you wanted to know. Bring your questions and curiosity.
Rob is a passionate Earth and Space Science educator from Carleton Place, Ontario. He is a High School Teacher and the founder of MEESS Education, a company focused on supporting both formal and informal education efforts in the areas of Math, Environmental Science, Earth Sciences, Space Sciences and the general Sciences. He is an avid astronomer spending many nights since his young childhood looking up at the night sky in wonder. Rob is a regular speaker and night sky guide at many events including the annual event, Stars and Songs, at the Canadian Ecology Centre in Samuel De Champlain Provincial Park each January, as well as with the ND Astronomy Club Star Parties in Eastern Ontario.
Rob routinely offers clinics, workshops and talks to many different audiences including educators helping them develop knowledge and skills to teach others about astronomy, geology among many other topics. On most clear nights, Rob can be found exploring the dark skies of Ontario photographing the heavens through one of his telescopes, or planning his next Astronomical adventure.
In case of rain, there will be a slide show presentation indoors.
