One thing went right today! The skies have cleared sufficiently to see tonight's lunar eclipse. Still in its partial phase right now. Got this pic thru the 7-inch telescope at the @RASC Observatory at TELUS World of Science - Edmonton Step outside & see for yourself! Eclipse will become total at 0026 MDT

We are deeply saddened to hear this. Bruce was truly an amazing person. The astronomy community has definitely lost an icon. The stars have gained a new angel. RIP Bruce. đź’”

🌓 5 April: First Quarter Moon at 2:16 UT (now). The days around First Quarter Moon are the best time to view craters and many other lunar features. Use binoculars or, better still, a telescope for some incredible views. 🔭 #Astronomy #Moon #Space
