Observatory members Sunna Withers and Nakul Sethuram Ramjee have successfully tracked NASA’s Artemis II mission using the Allan I. Carswell Observatory’s 1-metre telescope!
In the early morning hours, the York University students captured images of the Orion spacecraft as it returned from its journey around the Moon. The mission includes Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen and represents a major step toward future human exploration of deep space.

Happy Space Science Saturday!
The Bubble Nebula, shown in this image, is also known as NGC 7635. It is approximately 7 light years across and the star forming this nebula is about 45 times more massive than the Sun. The bubble’s surface is expanding outward and meets with cold gas on one side which causes an asymmetry that makes the star appear off-centre.
