Ever wondered what secrets the winter sky holds? Prepare to be amazed as Chris Curwin, a passionate amateur astronomer from Saint John, takes you on a celestial journey through the winter constellations, planets, and seasonal wonders. But here's where it gets even more fascinating: Chris isn't just any stargazer—he's a 20-year veteran of the Saint John Astronomy Club and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) NB, and a recipient of the prestigious RASC Qilak Award for his outstanding contributions to astronomy outreach. His dedication doesn't stop there; Chris has spent years inspiring curiosity through school programs, youth groups, senior communities, and public sidewalk astronomy events. And this is the part most people miss: alongside fellow RASC members Mike Powel and Paul Owen, Chris co-hosts the Sunday Night Astronomy Show, a live weekly program now in its 7th season. Their impact was so profound that an asteroid was named in their honor! Chris also connects with over 30,000 followers on his social media channel, Astronomy by the Bay, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary on Facebook. But here’s the controversial question: With so much of the universe still unexplored, how can we ensure that astronomy remains accessible and exciting for future generations? Join Chris for an unforgettable exploration of the winter sky and share your thoughts—do you think initiatives like these are enough to spark a new wave of stargazers? Let’s debate in the comments!
