2021 NOVA EAST The COVID-19 Effect Continues!
Mark your calendar for Nova East 2021! August 6-8, 2021 NOTE: The Board of Directors will determine in April/May |
Atlantic Canada's Longest-Running Star Party
Organized by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Halifax Centre and the Minas Astronomy Group

The 2020 Nova East Star Party - March of the Planets - was cancelled as a camping event due to COVID-19 and, although we did not meet at Smiley's Provincial Park this summer, there was still some smiley!
The Board of Directors and the Nova East Planning Committee hosted a speaker series, utilizing all of our pre-scheduled speakers. To provide members with the same feeling as being in the Events Building at the Park (almost), the Zoom sessions were hosted as a meeting so that questions can be asked 'live' throughout the presentations.
The sessions were scheduled for every Tuesday evening from August 4 to September 8 at 7:00 - 8:00 PM ADT. More information about the schedule and the topics being addressed can be found on our Schedule page. Speaker biographies are located on the Speakers page.
