The first step of the new 8m Sundial is piqueing my sunny astronomy interest! Fingers crossed for a finished installation this summer at #yorkuniversity
For enthusiasts it will be based on the Shmoyer Sunquist Sundial design and should be fairly high accuracy! #sundial #solarastronomy #solar #telescope #science #Astrodon #astronomy

Our crew at the observatory has CAPTURED THE ORION SPACECRAFT... despite the weather in #Toronto #canada ... the low position of #ArtemisII in the sky and having had to take the science ccd off for repairs.
Enjoy everyone, now you too can wave at the pixel of #jeremyhansen ! Video is up on the @AllanICarswellObservatory YouTubechannel! https://www.youtube.com/live/dT_ykVY1VaI?si=wDd_GQHUpdYP0-qy

Just the sound of cold metal creaking and the wind this #SilentSunday
Icy, cloudy, snowy #telescopes in #Toronto... with conditions like this we just wrap up warmly and work on data reduction!
Here's the 1m telescope with its winter parka on 😄 (its to protect from drip, freeze, melt, freeze drips... not the temperature alone).

Latest FOSS Academic post is: Oops! All Microslop. Or, Trying to Write with Microsoft.
https://fossacademic.tech/2026/01/06/oops-all-microslop.html
It's a post in which I see what it's like for me to try to create a blank document with York University's Microsoft 365 subscription.
TL;DR version is: it's all about Copilot, and starting a blank Word doc is actually kinda... hard.
The post is a bit long, but it does have a lot of screenshots + a dash of anger.

@adub lol, I believe it! #yorkuniversity gets a rat attack yearly, if you leave so much as a cough drop out... well lets just say I learned my lesson 😅

In fun #observatory news, I got our @AllanICarswellObservatory telescope allsky camera on our website!
You'll know when we are open
Youll know when we are closed
You'll know if the skies are bad or good
so hope for good for goodness sake... https://www.yorku.ca/science/observatory/observers/#astronomy #telescopes #Astrodon #science #yorkuniversity #toronto #outreach #education #fediverse

Professor: Texas used to have universities
By abandoning free inquiry, Texas is abandoning the definition of university.
"If you’re an instructor at Texas Tech, you can extol fascism; but you cannot wonder aloud whether a mutation to the SRY gene on the Y chromosome makes a person neither male nor female."

Finally got the cabling done on our tours viewscreen in the AICO 60cm dome. Looking forward to showing this off at the next Wednesday public tour... been working on getting funds together for ages, why is it that everything in telescopes takes 1-2 years? #observatory #yorkuniversity #allanicarswellobservatory #YorkUObservatory #education #science #outreach

Secondary, primary, tertiary... oh my! We had mirror cleaning day at the observatory, so it's a good thing it's not allergy season yet!*

An interview with Frances Latchford, chair of Gender and Women's Studies at York University, on the reasons why York is suspending that program and the damage that suspension is doing:
"From 2018 to 2023, the size of York’s senior administration team expanded by 37 per cent, and their compensation increased by 47 per cent, despite a 0.3 per cent increase in enrolment and a three per cent increase in total revenue."

My employer (a university) wants to the raise the acceptable CO₂ air quality level (in classrooms, offices, libraries, etc.) from 1,000 ppm to 5,000 ppm. And there I was, just a couple of weeks ago, wondering why our Wellness Wednesday emails stopped.

Partial Lunar Eclipse at the Allan I Carswell Observatory tonight! The second eclipse season in what has been quite the eclipse year in Ontario. And of course if you squint it looks a little bit like the death star (that's no moon.... phase) 🌕 #lunareclipse #ontario #Toronto #yorkuniversity #astronomy #Astrodon #moonlight #moon #partiallunareclipse #science #shadowpuppets

The moon is sure showing off in Toronto! Our students captured this during the tour Wednesday night showing the tint due to atmospheric effects. Sometimes a little bit of clouds isn't so bad, let's you talk about a whole different kind of redshift!

First day of #CASCA (Canadian Astronomical Society) astro conference in #toronto and so glad the venue has AC, it's too hot for sure out there... luckily a great batch of observatory posters with lots of student coauthors has turned it from a good to great day1.
