From the bottom: Mercury, Venus, Regulus, Mars. #spacegandalf

Starting from the bottom, Mercury, Venus, Regulus, Mars and the moon. #spacegandalf

Solstice 10.57 pm tonight WA time. Traditionally a moment of change, certainly of direction as the Sun stretches to its northern reach before turning to head south once again. Today He touches the Tropic of Cancer from directly overhead. The whole of the Arctic Circle is lit up. The whole of the Antarctic Circle is in the dark. That’s what these two circles are! Not arbitrary or abstract instead fiercely practical and real as demonstrated today by the solstice. What change are you ready for? Awareness!

Venus and the Moon. Again! #spacegandalf #gregquicke #cablebeachbroome

Mars and the Gemini Twins line up tonight. If you’ve been watching already you’ll know that alignment is only for a minute (well, maybe a day). Venus on the left moving in on the action. Thanks to Angie Platt for the plucking the Sun pic. #cablebeach #spacegandalf #gregquicke #cablebeachbroome

1st Broome starshow for 2023 tonight! Book yours at astrotours.net #spacegandalf

The Gemini Twins vertical. Mars just above them. Watch them! While you are at it watch Venus sneaking up on Mars over the coming month. Almost! #spacegandalf

Glass off at Gantheume Point Cable Beach. Venus on the left. Mars and the Gemini Twins making a neat triangle upper right. If you’ve been watching the sky and my last post you’ll easily see that Mars is moving in on the twins. #spacegandalf

Mars approaching the Gemini Twins.

That is a neat triangle. Note its shape and spacing and check it again tomorrow. Northern sky, fairly high, fairly obvious. The two on the right are Pollux (top) and Castor, the immortal and mortal Twins of Gemini. The interloper on the left is Mars! Mars is coming in to party with the twins. Check them again tomorrow to see what I mean. #gregquicke #spacegandalf #darkskyfestival

Total Solar Eclipse tomorrow! #spacegandalf in #exmouth on @MVTrueNorth

Early morning moon on rendezvous with a direct encounter with the Sun. Magic Exmouth, magic True North.

I heard that there is a major event happening in Exmouth!

@TessConradt @TEDxPerth Joy!

@GregQuicke thank you 4 reminding us that we are all essentially flat earthers 🤣. A great reminder of why language comprehension is important in dispelling misconceptions in Earth science. May be blowing my 11 year old students’ minds tomorrow. @TEDxPerth ✨

TEDX Perth 2023 about to launch for the sky. I’m first! #SpaceGandalf #GregQuicke

How’s that for a bit of magic! Venus with a close smooch from the passing moon.
