This isn’t a solar eclipse. 🔴 The smoke particles from #wildfires throughout Canada allow sunlight's longer wavelength colors like red and orange to get through while blocking the shorter wavelengths of yellow, blue and green.

The CSA is funding space technology development that also makes life better here on Earth. For example,
@EdgehogTech
is making solar panels on spacecraft more efficient, which could also help power our communities with clean energy.
