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

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/c2984489…

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
