The Full Moon will rise in Montréal tonight at 5:00 PM in the East

It’ll look big and orange. This is unrelated to the lunar eclipse, but a nice appetizer. Looks to be clear for it, too!

Heads up! I'm postponing tonight's Artemis II live stream to rest up. I'll be back next Monday night at 8:00 PM ET.

I'll also be doing a contest giveaway during the stream of some Artemis II patches to those who tune in.

This week in Montréal: we'll cross 11 hours of total daylight

This is the last two weeks of Standard Time (early sunrises and sunsets). The Sun will rise about 6:30 AM, but Daylight Saving Time will soon kick in and move to later sunrises and sunsets

If you're a morning person, savour this time

To be Canadian is to accept the results of a fair match. Not all countries and leaders do that.

Proud of our boys 🇨🇦

Your imagination is producing facts.

The first day of the mission they'll be in their spacesuits for at least 10 hours. Indeed it'll be a moistened costume.

Looks like tonight's Artemis II wet dress rehearsal went great! A HUGE step for a possible early March launch.

And Jeremy Hansen's wife, Dr Catherine Hansen, just posted that they'll be getting into quarantine.

It's getting real!

Another great morning of planetarium shows today.

4 shows. About 70 students and their parents who now know more about Artemis II and humanity’s return to the Moon.

Thank you Garden Hill Elementary for inviting me!

What will Earth look like when Artemis II goes to the Moon? Which "phase"?

Monday night at 8:00 PM ET, I'm doing a live stream showing you a cool free app called Gaia Sky. I'll show you the possible ways the Earth and the Moon will appear.
