It's wonderful to be here at Cayley School today! We're having a lot of fun exploring the night sky and outer space from inside the planetarium.

It's great to be here at Springbank Middle School. Today is Day 2 of a two-day visit and we've been doing a lot of Sky Science. Don't forget to look for the Venus, Mars, and the Moon in the western sky this evening, just after sunset. Then look for Orion (The Hunter) and Canis Major (The Big Dog) in the southern sky. Keep Looking Up!! 🔭

Earlier this month, the planetarium was at Rundle College Elementary in #Calgary to visit with the Grade 6 students. Although it was the second time that the planetarium has been to this school, it was the first time that the planetarium has been to their beautiful new campus on 17 Avenue SW. Thank you for inviting me to come visit with your students once again. It was a great day! Keep Looking Up!

Last week, the planetarium was at Good Shepherd School in #Okotoks for a fun-filled day with the Grade 6 students. It was the fourth year in a row that the planetarium has gone to visit the students at this school and as in the past, the students and staff were great! Thank you so much for inviting me to your school. It was my pleasure to help you explore the great big sky! #SkyScience.

Tonight, look for Orion the Hunter rising up in the eastern sky at about 9:30 PM. Orion is probably the easiest-to-identify of all the constellations. Betelgeuse - a red supergiant star - is located in the upper-left part of the constellation. This bright red star marks the (western) shoulder of the great hunter. There is also a bright blue star in Orion, which is located in the lower-right part of the constellation. This star is called Rigel and it's a blue supergiant star.
