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.

Who doesn't love space? It captures our imaginations and makes us wonder if we are truly alone.
Join us for a fair of astronomical proportions at York University with the Allan I Carswell Observatory and our event partners. A single ticket will get you entry to booths, activities, telescopes, and the Astronomy in Action Planetarium.
This exciting event is running as a FIRST CLEAR DAY event as it will be outdoors and under the open air between June 24 - July 4. The event will happen only once on the first clear day, and all ticket holders will see a go or no-go update (depending on the weather) both on the event website and via their registration email by 9am each day.
We are excited to welcome you to walk through the solar system, investigate sundials, and interact with both science and games in this event. All areas are suitable for ages 5 and up, but younger children should be accompanied by an adult.
For tickets and information see: https://www.yorku.ca/science/observatory/astrofair/

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.

This is the web page of release notes for Clarivate's library platform Alma. If you hover over a box, it shows you up to six links labelled by month. You may need to click to reveal more. If you click on a month, you load a page that has a link to a page with the release notes.

My place of work spends about $400,000 a year to rent this system.
