Get ready for a celestial adventure with Chris Curwin, an astronomy enthusiast from Saint John, as he takes us on a journey through the enchanting winter sky!
Unveiling the Secrets of the Night Sky
Chris, an amateur astronomer with a passion for sharing his knowledge, will guide us through the most captivating constellations, planets, and unique seasonal phenomena. But here's where it gets exciting: he's not just any stargazer!
With two decades of experience as a member of the Saint John Astronomy Club and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) NB, Chris has dedicated his time to inspiring others, especially the youth and seniors, through his outreach programs. He believes that astronomy is for everyone, and his work has been recognized with the prestigious RASC Qilak award for excellence in astronomy outreach in Canada.
Chris and his colleagues, Mike Powel and Paul Owen, have taken their passion to new heights with the Sunday Night Astronomy Show, a live weekly program that has captivated audiences for seven seasons. Their dedication to astronomy education was recently rewarded in a unique way - an asteroid was named after them!
And this is the part most people miss: Chris is also the mastermind behind Astronomy by the Bay, a social media channel with a massive following of over 30,000 enthusiasts. His Facebook page, celebrating its 10th anniversary on February 1st, is a testament to his impact and influence in the astronomy community.
