CSA Astronaut Jeremy Hansen Sets Out for Geology Field Training in the High Arctic
2013-07-17 - Jeremy Hansen via Twitter on July 17 - Photo taken at midnight, but looks like noon, except sun is in the north instead of the south. Was strange to be going to bed. Sun just keeps going around but never down.
From July 16 to 25, 2013, Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Jeremy Hansen is in the High Arctic to learn methods and techniques for conducting geological fieldwork that could be applied during future missions to the Moon or an asteroid. Hansen is accompanying Western University's Dr. Osinski and his team from the Centre for Planetary Science and Exploration as they study the Haughton impact crater on Devon Island, Nunavut.
