AllanICarswellObservatoryThanks to everyone who followed along with us, we had the first clear day on Sunday June 29th, 5-11pm<br>
The Open Air Astro Fair event Is Done!!! A huge thanks to everyone who joined us for astronomy activities. All funds raised will go to observatory repairs and summer operations.<br>
A photo and video gallery for the event will be posted to the observatory website in the next week. As a reminder if any of you would like to revisit the observatory we will have smaller Wednesday tour events for free all year long after sunset at the observatory (free tickets can be found on the website). <a href="https://www.yorku.ca/science/observatory/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.yorku.ca/science/observatory/</a><br>

webcubus<p>I had an opportunity to do some solar imaging on three straight days and it was really cool to watch the sunspots change in such a short period. Check out how the upper and trailing patches seems to materialize from nowhere and some of the areas shrank. Really cool!</p><p><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/sunspots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sunspots</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/astrophotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>astrophotography</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/solarimaging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>solarimaging</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/sun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sun</span></a></p>

AllanICarswellObservatoryWho doesn't love space? It captures our imaginations and makes us wonder if we are truly alone.<br>
Join us for a fair of astronomical proportions at York University with the Allan I Carswell Observatory and our event partners. A single ticket will get you entry to booths, activities, telescopes, and the Astronomy in Action Planetarium.<br>
This exciting event is running as a FIRST CLEAR DAY event as it will be outdoors and under the open air between June 24 - July 4. The event will happen only once on the first clear day, and all ticket holders will see a go or no-go update (depending on the weather) both on the event website and via their registration email by 9am each day.<br>
We are excited to welcome you to walk through the solar system, investigate sundials, and interact with both science and games in this event. All areas are suitable for ages 5 and up, but younger children should be accompanied by an adult.<br>
For tickets and information see: <a href="https://www.yorku.ca/science/observatory/astrofair/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.yorku.ca/science/observatory/astrofair/</a><br>

Patioboater<p>A few more pretty pictures of the Sun from last night's sunset. I took the paddleboat out to check out how clear the smokey skies might be for the aurora last night. The aurora fizzled, but I got to catch a lovely sunset.</p><p>June 1, 2025.

Bruce MacDonald<p>This article reminds me of the old story:</p><p>Guy tells a friend: "I see spots before my eyes!"</p><p>Friend: "Have you seen a doctor?"</p><p>"No, just spots!"</p><p>Astro Bob: Let's Count Sunspots<br>"The original forecast for the current cycle, dubbed Cycle 25, was made in 2019 with the peak predicted for this upcoming July. However, more recent forecasts hint that we reached maximum in late 2024, so we may have already passed the peak. A more definitive answer will have to wait until the sun enters a slump. Then we'll be able to look back with hindsight and better frame the time."<br><a href="https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/lifestyle/astro-bob/astro-bob-lets-count-sunspots" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">duluthnewstribune.com/lifestyl</span><span class="invisible">e/astro-bob/astro-bob-lets-count-sunspots</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/sunspots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sunspots</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Cycle25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cycle25</span></a></p>
