Here are a few shows I’ve been enjoying lately, including a mind-bending science documentary, an Australian teen drama-comedy, and yet another fantasy show featuring a magical boarding school. Human Playground Narrated by Idris Elba, Human Playground is a people-focused Planet Earth that chronicles how people “play”. This includes rituals steeped in ancient beginnings to modern-day …
I just finished Reservation Dogs Season 2 and it was one of the most beautiful seasons of television I have ever seen. The show has an almost delicate, subtle power that deftly weaves in challenging circumstances, with light, levity, and hope as it follows a group of teenage friends on a reserve in Oklahoma. Impressive …
You may have already noticed a very bright planet looking East in the early night’s sky. This is our solar system’s largest planet Jupiter, and not only is it in opposition (meaning it is on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun), but it is also the closest it has been to Earth since …
UPDATE: Launch is now scheduled for November 15 at 10:04pm PT. After many delays, NASA’s massive new Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and uncrewed Orion spacecraft is set to blast off on a 42-day mission to orbit the Moon and back again. The Artemis 1 mission is seeking to test the new spacecraft to ensure …
James Webb Space Telescope is finally active and bringing back unprecedented images from the edge of the universe and the beginning of time! You may have seen one of its first images that shows a universe chockablock full of galaxies – and that’s only a fraction of what’s out there. In fact, this was said …
Canadians are absolutely crushing it in the pool. While historically we tend to win most when the water is frozen, our current Canadian swim team is really changing that. Growing up, we used to celebrate when a Canadian made a final, but now we’re storming the podium and coming up with Gold, Silver, and Bronze …
I recently returned from a 11-day solo trip to the Canadian Rockies, returning through the Kootenays and Okanagan. And, I have to say, what’s out in my backyard of British Columbia and Alberta really stacks up with the best I’ve seen anywhere else. Always a sucker for a good circle tour, I made my way …
Seven planets are now aligning in the night sky in a rare conjunction event; Mercury, Venus, Uranus, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, and the Moon, which hasn’t occurred since 2004 and won’t happen again until 2040. And, they are visible in the order they are from the Sun! The five brightest planets – Mercury, Venus, Mars, …
Blessed be the sci-fi fruit. Check out two new shows that are truly out-of-this-world, and two rooted right here on terra firma. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Man, this new Star Trek is so much fun. I have to say, I enjoyed last week’s episode more than Obi-Wan Kenobi. Strange New Worlds harkens back to …
The brilliant Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team has achieved brilliance again, bringing us the first image of the black hole at the center of our very own Milky Way galaxy – Sagittarius A*. While much closer to Earth, being that it is in our own galaxy some 27,000 light years away, this black hole was …
