About MUCIRSA

The Memorial University Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Space and Astronomy is an interdisciplinary group with a focus on outer space in a very broad sense. We are located at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, and span multiple faculties and campuses. Combined, we are interested in astronomy, astrophysics, general relativity, computational astrophysics, ethical space exploration and Indigenous knowledges of astronomy.
