Halloween calls for a night time thrill!
There's no time for fright. The end of October is putting on a stunning show of airglow, meteors and gorgeous deep-sky objects. Relive my night on mountain tops to capture it! Happy Halloween! As tales of walking-deads and crawling ghouls may haunt your wildest fantasies, astronomy is calling you out to trick or treat YOU! Spending a full night out alone in the dead silence of the Swiss Alps may not be for the faint-hearted, and on the contrary it can bring much needed peace,

Preparing citizens for sub-orbital science
Whether its purpose is commercial or scientific, sub-orbital flights are going to be the next big step towards bringing citizens to space, and we are closer to doing so than you might believe. Nothing compares to zero gravity. When the unique force that pulls you back to Earth cancels out, you enter a whole new world, a weightless one.

The sub-auroral arc complex is no exception and brings up much excitement, discussion, enthusiasm and questions within the scientific community but also among amateur astronomers.

Iceland in September: auroras and breath-taking colors on the menu!
After a fantastic and unforgettable journey through the island of fire and ice, here's why you should go visit it precisely then... Yes, I did it again. Obviously one time in Iceland was not enough as much remained to be explored. On another note, my first trip was more focused on hiking and scouting as many places as possible without lingering for long at each spot. I wanted to come back for several reasons. The first one being that I needed a break. The second one, which tr
