It was great to be at the #candycanegala2022 last night. Thank you so much for inviting me! More than 400 people stepped inside the AstroDome Planetarium over the course of the evening and were treated to a roller coaster ride in space! 🚀 #Calgary #yyc Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation AstroDome

Here are my best #Moon - #Mars photographs from tonight. Both were captured with an #iPhone held up to the eyepiece of a small telescope. You have to look closely to see Mars! Keep Looking Up! 🔭 #astronomy #MarsOccultation #SkyScience Dallas Flexhaug Tiffany Lizée

Hello #Edmonton it’s great to finally be here! Keep an eye on the western sky, just after sunset, and watch #Jupiter and #Venus come together. There are 300 kids in Grade 6 who can tell you all about this celestial event. #EPSB #yeg #SkyScience #abed Keep Looking Up! 🔭

Thank you #EPSB for a wonderful week. I haven’t visited a school here since 1998, when I used to work for TELUS World of Science - Edmonton which was called the #Edmonton Space & Science Centre back then. It’s hard to believe it has been 25 years since I was a member of the Science in Motion team. #SkyScience

In case you missed it because of those pesky clouds, here is what tonight’s #VenusandJupiter conjunction looked like. I captured this image using just an iPhone. Keep Looking Up! 🔭 #Calgary #YYC #astronomy QR Calgary

The countdown is on! Three American astronauts and one Canadian astronaut will fly around the Moon, testing our Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft. We can't wait to share their names with you on April 3rd!

One mission. Four astronauts. So many ways to watch the #Artemis II astronaut announcement. The thread below tells you all the places you can find this historic event. We make history on Monday, April 3, starting at 11am ET (1500 UTC).

Tomorrow, the Canadian Space Agency will announce which #astronaut is going to the #Moon on Artemis 2. I’m betting that it will be Jeremy R. Hansen who do you think they will select? 🚀 - - - - - - - - - - 🌓 🇨🇦 Canadian Space Agency CTV News Globalnews.ca #Artemis #NASA

Hello Everyone! The AstroDome (AstroDome) will not last forever, eventually it will need to be replaced. The fundraising for AstroDome 2.0 has started and I will be forever grateful to everyone who makes a contribution to this new portable planetarium. Keep Looking Up! ✨
