View of this morning's partial solar #eclipse over McNabs Island in #Halifax harbour. Very lucky to catch a glimpse, it clouded over 15 minutes after sunrise. Plus, however you look at it, a rising crescent Sun is pretty amazing! #photography
The colours are still glorious in the low morning ☀! Just a few quick pics from the @smuhalifax campus this morning. Dare I say there is a little bit of pareidolia going on in the pic of the canopy of the crimson maple? 😀#photography

This is not a computer rendering. Congrats to the SpaceX engineers. Truly incredible piece of spaceflight engineering.

Spectacular northern lights image captured tonight at the Burke-Gaffney Observatory at @SMuhalifax by Devin Williams, PhD student & telescope operator. #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis #Halifax
@allistercanada got to admit, this one was wild!
For context, lived in Edmonton for a handful of years and saw aurora over city lights. But always to the north of the city.
Last night I had a quick chat with @BruceFriskoCTV about SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission, along with some of the key aspects of radiation hazards in space travel. This is obviously relevant to any potential missions to Mars and space weather forecasting. atlantic.ctvnews.ca/video/c2…
A couple more images from the BC rockies at @missmistaya. The spire is visible from the patio at the lodge, while the rock is in Wildcat Creek, a 15 minute walk from the front door. #photography
Fun thing is that both rock and water flow, but the time scales are very different #physics
One can't go far in AB/BC without seeing the impact of the wildfires. Smoke obscures many beautiful views over the foothills and mountains. Cooler conditions and rain have helped, but many fires will likely run for sometime. #photography
The #crocosmia are in full bloom. Will try and get a few hummingbird pics... #Halifax
Doing some filming in the @smubgobs last night. Have to say the "new" mount is amazing, and so much faster than our old worm-drive. @SMUScience
