 Remembering Blake Nancarrow:<\/span><\/em> Our first astronomer in residence from 2022, Blake was an amazing innovator and educator in astronomy, especially in Ontario. Blake kicked off this program with great effort and wonderful imaging. Unfortunately Blake passed away in 2023, but he will remain forever a star in our skies and his blog will remain featured in our archives here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
