The Moon rises in the East tonight in Montréal at 6:03 PM

It’ll look large and orange when it first rises when low on the horizon

Montreal: the Space Station will fly over the city tonight, appearing like a bright star moving across the sky

At 8:10 PM, it’ll appear to fly above the Moon in the Moon. Easily viewable, no telescope required!

There's only ~30 satellites needed to make GPS work around the world. I wanted to show this to students, and I'm super pumped how this turned out!

Working with @gaiasky.bsky.social, we grab the orbital data of each satellite and show them circling around Earth

They look like electrons in an atom
