I was in Jasper for 8 days during the "Jasper Dark Sky Festival". I was there for a dark sky photography workshop (Jeff Bartlett - www.jeffbartlettmedia.com/ & Jack Fusco - www.jackfusco.com/). It was an absolutely fantastic workshop & the weather was great for the most part. Unfortunately it was rather cloudy & overcast on this particular evening but we did our best! I have never in my life seen so many stars in the sky!
Jasper was designated as a Dark Sky Preserve by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, due to its limited light pollution that creates ideal conditions for dark sky viewing.
There were many events taking place in Jasper during the festival some of which included space talks by the Kelly Brothers (Astronauts & identical twin brothers) who discussed their extraordinary careers & life perspectives in their talk and a panel of astronomers, astronauts & scientists.
