The Centre for Planetary Sciences at the University of Toronto is a centre for the study of all planets, near and far.

Planetary sciences are experiencing a revolution with the discovery of a multitude of planetary systems around other stars. For many years, the distant and less well known outer Solar System represented the main frontier in the exploration of exotic regimes of planetary behaviours. Today, numerous extrasolar planets also offer a chance to explore planetary regimes that had simply not been imagined
