A Community Living in Luxury and Bathing in Starlight A COMMUNITY LIVING IN LUXURY AND BATHING IN STARLIGHT Welcome to Observatory Hill, a luxurious master-planned community in south Richmond Hill’s last remaining parcel of picturesque land. It’s a place that’s to be built on the astronomical past of the David Dunlap Observatory, rich with scientific advancement that led the world. Observatory Hill will be one of the most unique communities in Canada. Tucked in alongside David Dunlap Observatory Park, a huge, cultivated green space with stories of astronomy and discovery. Many of those stories became history, and soon those who live there will write life stories of their own. A BILLION STARS IN YOUR BACKYARD Observatory Hill on Bayview Avenue. A constellation of ultra-luxury homes nestled alongside the historical David Dunlap Observatory, with 110 acres of beautiful woodlands and out-of-this-world amenities. Beautifully crafted and expertly built townhouses, semi-detached or single family detached luxury homes provide comfort, convenience and the perfect location in which to live and raise a family. Observatory Hill homes combine the best of classic design and modern construction with an outdoor space that has historical significance and amenities available nowhere else in the country. 2 A PARK WITH A VIEW OF THE UNIVERSE 3 THE HOMES AT OBSERVATORY HILL 1 LIFE IS RICH IN RICHMOND HILL 1 LIFE IS RICH IN RICHMOND HILL THE CITY OF STARS Multi-award winning Richmond Hill is a culturally diverse, social and convenient place to live. It consistently ranks among Canada’s fastest growing towns. In fact, it is ranked 4th out of 50 Canadian cities in the Conference Board of Canada’s City Magnets 2014 report that includes education, innovation, economy, society, health, environment and housing. Richmond Hill is an affluent community with more than 52% of families reporting incomes of greater than $70,000, and over 31% of households reporting incomes greater than $100,000. The average household income in Richmond Hill is $100,900, 34% higher than the national average and 26% higher than the provincial average. The town is home to many successful corporations including Acklands Grainger Inc., Compugen Inc., Compuware, DMC Mining Services, Lexmark, BMW Canada, AMD Canada, Volvo Canada, Mazda Canada, and Staples. OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD ENTERTAINMENT AND LUXURIANT GREEN SPACES Not only will Observatory Hill offer a fantastic community with well-designed, high quality homes; the town of Richmond Hill has proposed a spatial plan just northwest of Bayview and 16th Avenue that will make this neighbourhood one of the finest, and most unique in Canada. The proposed restoration of world-renowned David Dunlap Observatory Park will allow you to spend quality time with your children enjoying the Planetarium, the open-air Amphitheatre, the Conservatory, a Skating Trail, Ice Arena, Tennis Courts, playgrounds and self-illuminating Star Path. Have a family picnic in the Great Lawn, or take a walk in the woodlands and watch for local wildlife in the Wildlife Sanctuary or the Wetlands. d l R Hil Rd er ill ow H T N er T ow 404 W o o d b 19th Ave i Leslie St n R e o A RESTAURANTS & BARS COMMUNITY v ll in e l Rd Bayview Ave g hil EVERYTHING IN Bathurst St 1.

If you’re staying in town, everything you need and more is available around amost every corner and accessible with less traffic and more parking than the city. 2 A PARK WITH A VIEW OF THE UNIVERSE A TRUE STORY ABOUT A QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE At the time of its inception, the David Dunlap Observatory boasted the world’s second largest telescope, and it would go on to become a world-renowned centre for astronomical exploration and education. The Observatory and Radio Telescope provided evidence that Cygnus X-1 was a black hole, measured the distance to globular clusters, discovered that Polaris was stabilizing, starred in an Oscar nominated documentary and inspired Stanley Kubrick’s stellar odyssey.

  • ASTRONOMY in CANADA 51 Spectrum. Precise Chemical
    ASTRONOMY IN CANADA 51 spectrum. Precise chemical analysis must take account of the differences of temperature and pressure in the atmospheres of different stars. The outer layers of the stars may appear to differ widely, but this is because of differences in their physical state. It is found that the majority of stars are of closely similar chemical composition. Studies of this nature depend on knowledge of the behaviour of matter in laboratories on earth. On the other hand, the stars themselves are a unique kind of laboratory where matter exists, and can be studied, under conditions that cannot be reproduced on earth. Thus some branches of astronomy, physics and chemistry complement each other. Another important part of the Observatory's work is the study of close double stars. These are systems of two stars held together by their gravitational attraction. Under the influence of this attraction they revolve around their centre of gravity, completing a revolution in a very short time—usually a few days. The two stars are too close to each other to be seen separately with any telescope but they can be studied separately with the spectrograph. These objects are important because their motions are determined by the well-known law of gravitation, and can be made to yield much information about the component stars of each system. In favourable cases, the masses, sizes, densities, tempera­ tures and luminosities of the two stars can be determined. Many of these stellar properties can be derived only from the study of such systems. In addition to their research, the astronomers try to give a more direct service to the public.

That’s Wild! by Jack Newton Victoria Centre On March 29, I photographed two galaxies in Canes Venatici in my continuing search for supernovas, but cloud moved in and terminated my evening’s observing. I decided not to process the film immediately as clear weather was forecast on the way. I also wanted to get a shot of the Eskimo Nebula at ambient temperature. On April 19, I added five more photographs to the film and sent it off for processing. I got it back on the morning of April 21, and noticed a red star near the nucleus of one of the galaxies worthy of further investigation.
