Description
Burke-Gaffney Observatory
Canadian amateur astronomers using the Burke-Gaffney Observatory made a remarkable discovery in 1995 when they identified a supernova in a galaxy about 70 million light years away — the first such discovery made from within Canada. Such a powerful and colourful explosion is a rare celestial event, as the dying star expires in a burst of bright light and expelled energy; it is a truly breathtaking sight to behold, one of great ethereal beauty in a universe that still holds so many secrets!
This coin is the second issue of the Universe series.
The first coin of the series, released in July 2015, depicts the Mont-Mégantic Observatory.
The second coin ofthe series, released in November 2015, depicts the Burke-Gaffney Observatory.
The third and the last coin of the series, released in May 2016, depicts the NRC Dominion Radio AStrophysical Observatory (DRAO).
