Happy Space Science Saturday!
The Moon and Venus will be in conjunction tonight, June 21, into tomorrow night, June 22, as they will share right ascension. This means the two bodies will appear close to each other in the sky, as seen in the image above.

You can pursue your passions and be realistic about the work. Fulfilment comes from quality, not quantity when it comes to how you spend your energy.

Astronomers are tackling their carbon footprint not by limiting discoveries, but by being more discerning with their data and working more efficiently through interdisciplinary collaboration.

This image of M27, the Dumbbell Nebula, was taken by last year’s first ever Astronomer in Residence duo, Anna Skrinnik and Sunna Withers! The pair will be at Killarney Provincial Park this summer so keep an eye on the schedule if you want to visit them! In the meantime, check out our Astronomer in Residence to read about their time at the park last year:

Happy Space Science Saturday!
Caldwell 20, also known as the North America Nebula, is about 1800 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. Its shape is said to resemble the North American continent, hence the nickname. This region is actively forming stars, particularly in a dense area called the Cygnus Wall.

Happy Space Science Saturday!
Experience the Strawberry Moon on June 11! This Full Moon does not get its name from its hue or appearance but from the Native American Algonquian tribes as well as the Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota who would harvest their ripened strawberry crop around this time of year.

2025-06-02

Hello #FediScience, migrating from astrodon.social (about to close), I am joining you here (inspired by @wolfgangcramer), so it's time for a new #Introduction

I'm Alexandre Santerne (call me Alex), #astronomer working @LAM_Marseille & teaching at Aix-Marseille #University (France).

I'm expert in finding #NoPlanetB 😀 (#planets around other #stars).

I want to work in a #fair, #inclusive, and #sustainable #research #environment, so I (try to) act accordingly. I'm a member of @labos1point5

I toot a lot about #Astronomy, #Astrophysics, #Space but also a lot about #ClimateChange and #Climate.

Since 2019, I completely boycott planes, and I travel by #train (long distance) and #bike (short distance) as much as I can.

My other interests include #photography (visit my Flickr gallery in my profile) #Astronomy #Space

Oh, in case you don't know where Aix-Marseille is (trick: in 🇫🇷 ), the image below (credit: #NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute) is indicating where I am, as seen from #Saturn...

... and where you also are, together with 8B people as part of 2M species 😀

This rare image taken on July 19, 2013, by NASA's Cassini spacecraft has shows Saturn's rings and our planet Earth and its moon in the same frame. At the time, Cassini was 2013 from a distance of about 898.414 million miles (1.445858 billion kilometers) from Earth. It is only one footprint in a mosaic of 33 footprints covering the entire Saturn ring system (including Saturn itself) taken by Cassini's wide-angle camera.

Happy Space Science Saturday!
Tonight, Venus reaches its greatest western elongation, meaning it is at its furthest point from the Sun in the sky, about 46 degrees. This is an ideal time to observe the planet because it will be at its highest point above the horizon before sunrise. So, get out your telescopes and have a good time stargazing!

Happy Space Science Saturday!
The New Moon will be upon us May 27th so get your telescopes ready! This phase provides ideal conditions for observing faint objects in the night sky. During a New Moon, the Moon is positioned between the Sun and Earth, meaning very little sunlight is reflected off its surface, giving us darker skies for optimal stargazing.

Killarney Provincial Park and the Allan I. Carswell Observatory present the Astronomer in Residence (AIR) program, an astronomy outreach endeavour! Join our astronomers this summer for live in-person tours at the Killarney Provincial Park dark sky site or online!

We are pleased to announce that this summer’s first Astronomers in Residence will be our very own Camila Guzman, Darius Andrews, and Alex Jude from May 26 to June 1, 2025. Be sure to pay them a visit if you’re at the park!

This beautiful image of the aurora over Killarney was taken by Veronika Dornan during her time as an Astronomer in Residence.

See more awesome images in blog posts from our previous AIRs:
