I like space, photography and music.

The Science Centre remains closed following significant flooding from the July 10 storm. Restoration & recovery work are ongoing. Based on assessments, we are planning for a closure until approximately November 2026. This is a planning estimate, not a confirmed reopening date.

@csa_asc @Space_Station Congratulations Joshua! You’re making Alberta proud

[Joel Weatherly @JK_Weatherly]

@SciGuySpace @AmandaBerger79 Two Canadian space flights in a year is an exciting prospect. We’re stoked to see another of our astronauts in action

[Joel Weatherly @JK_Weatherly]

@Erdayastronaut I’d like to know more about plans for its interior living space, the elevator, and what the testing process might be like (I assume it will have some uncrewed demos)

It was great to cheer on Artemis II!

Splashdown! The journey of more than 1.1 million kilometers concluded today. Jeremy Hansen and the Artemis II crew are back on Earth after becoming the first humans in over 50 years to venture to the Moon.

Welcome home, Jeremy!

[Joel Weatherly @JK_Weatherly]

Last night, I got to ask the crew of Aretmis II a question while they’re en route to the Moon! Thanks to @Astro_Christina for answering my question. I can’t wait to see the crew’s photos of Mare Orientale!

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

@LMSpace @NASA Do you have any downloadable 3D models of Orion that I could display in a planetarium?

[Canadian Space Agency @csa_asc]

NASA released the potential launch dates and times for the Artemis II mission. At the moment, the first launch window opens up on February 6, 2026, at 9:41 pm (ET). More details : https://t.co/DqAlhXjERy

@SciGuySpace We’re really excited to see one of our own on this mission!

Aurora season is back. Last night, auroras danced across the skies during a surprisingly strong G3-class geomagnetic storm. They were bright enough to be seen from the suburbs and competed with the moonlight over a foggy lake. #Auroraborealis #northernlights #spaceweather

[Joel Weatherly @JK_Weatherly]

@NASASun “0 geomagnetic storms” seems a bit low as we saw G1-G2 storming throughout this weekend.

[Joel Weatherly @JK_Weatherly]

@fireflyspace @NASA Amazing view! I hope you catch some neat shots during this month’s lunar eclipse
