Am I dreaming or is this actually Vancouver?!
After 10pm on a Monday, and people are having … fun? OUTSIDE?
Hosting the World Cup has this city realizing its full potential.

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

FIFA World Cup belongs to 16 host cities, but Vancouver is turning its share into something much bigger.
Vancouver is punching above its weight, not acting like it's simply hosting soccer matches. #FIFAWorldCup #WeAre26 #WeAreVancouver #bcpoli #vanpoli

Mental health tip:
Drink some water. Go for a walk. Eat a damn donut.
Not necessarily in that order. 😂

VPD officers tracked down a big, furry suspect last Tuesday around 1:00 a.m. after the VPD received 911 calls about a black bear wandering around Commercial Drive and Grandview Highway. Patrol officers located the bear, and the Emergency Response Team assisted when the bear was getting a little too close to people nearby. The BC Conservation Officer Service was called, while VPD officers contained the bear as it moved toward Hastings and Commercial.
When the Conservation Service arrived, the bear was tranquilized and taken to North Vancouver. Nobody was hurt, the bear slept it off, and was released without charges.

What did the Artemis II astronauts do when they landed back on Earth? Share a bag of peanut M&Ms.
"When we landed, we splashed down into the Pacific Ocean ... and Christina, out of her spacesuit pocket, goes, 'I got some peanut M&Ms, anybody want some?'" Wiseman said on CBS Mornings. "And so we're leaning against the side of the spacecraft, just come back from the moon, eating peanut M&Ms. We were happy."

A significant heatwave is expected in the PNW, particularly in British Columbia. Saturday, Sunday and Monday should be the hottest days.
We should have 30°C in Metro Vancouver [not in Vancouver itself, of course] and 35°C is not out of the question in Lytton or Ashcroft. #BCstorm

It's our home.
This Earth Day, see our planet as our Artemis II astronauts saw it with these new images from the mission.

Every time I look up at the Moon now, even the one at Space Center Houston, it feels different.
It’s no longer just a distant light in the night sky — it’s a place I’ve studied up close with my own eyes. I find myself tracing its features, recognizing the shadows, the craters, the quiet stories written across its surface.
The Moon hasn’t changed, but now when I observe it, it comes back to life in my mind with a new and treasured perspective.

Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

The closest I got to donning my ski socks this season! I haven’t been able to get any turns in from my temporary home at the @Space_Station, but at least I have stunning views of the mountains where I fell in love with backcountry skiing. Though I started x-country skiing at the age of 2 (thanks to my Swedish mother!) and took up alpine skiing in college, it was only while doing my post-doc at @UBC that I realized I could combine the two for the most ultimate of snow passions. How was your ski season?
