Something we would like to do on the page is a Q&A. If you have any questions about the sky or astronomy please send a message to the facebook page or send an email to simonjastronomy@gmail.com. When the questions come in I will personally answer them by video and post them on the page. We may even have guest experts contribute so you can have the best answer possible! The author of the question will remain anonymous so don't be embarrassed if there is something on your mind.
There will be an open house at the Rothney Astrophysical Observatory(RAO) out in Priddis on January 28, 2017. This is a great event for the public. I've heard there will be no less than 14 telescopes set up for public viewing. Please come and make an evening of it. The cost is $20 per vehicle so load up the vans! The event starts at 8pm, please see the map below and follow signs for directions.

The weather has been quite depressing today with snow falling on and off throughout the afternoon. The skies are overcast and there will likely be no opportunity for observing. However, if you are looking up during the week in the mid-evening, Gemini will be visible. The constellation map is provided below. Look for the twins Castor and Pollux north of the famous shape of Orion.
