The results were spectacular: there were moving parts, whirling parts, computers programmed to display LED messages, depictions of sciences, and some really crazy themes! As Exploratek activity coordinator at the Canada Science and Technology Museum, I was immediately inspired to bring a similar activitiy to our visitors.

The team who found these new Saturnian satellites have created a Twitter contest, whereby anyone from around the world can suggest names for them. Want to try and name a moon of Saturn?

Jó naput / hello, my reading friend. And yes, you are quite right in saying that the photograph at the beginning of this article did not appear in La semaine à Radio-Canada ¸ a weekly published in Montréal, Québec, in October 1959 or 1969.

On a broader level, my research and collecting touched on aspects of Peebles's rich undergraduate experience in the 1950s. It has been over one hundred years since British scientists developed methods to deflect ions
