Description:

2009 is the International Year of Astronomy, and Mayor David Miller has declared Jan. 10 as the official kick-off day for the International Year of Astronomy in Toronto

The Treehouse Group is getting involved by throwing a party at the Gladstone Hotel on Jan. 10 to explore the points of intersection between astronomy and other pursuits like video art, sculpture, music, and journalism.

Randall Rosenfeld, a member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada will be bringing his medieval music troupe, Sine Nomine, to perform astronomy-themed music from the 10th-15th centuries. Awesome.

SkyNews Magazine, Canada's star-gazing gurus, will also be there handing out copies. This is an open event, so if you want to drop by and say hello, come to the Gladstone Hotel anytime after 8 pm on Jan. 10. Cover is $5.
