A visit to amazing London

Profile picture for user Erin Gregory
May 16, 2019
For my husband’s fortieth birthday this year, I decided to surprise him with a trip to London, England over March Break. We both love to travel and try to see as many sights as possible when we do. Most of the places we go tend to be historical — I guess one would expect that much from a curator! There is no shortage of amazing places to see in London and our list of “must-sees” was quite long; we only had six days to fit them all in. I’m happy to report that we got to all the must-sees and with

Half a century ago, you would have regularly heard Canadians discussing the Apollo moon landings and the future prospects of space travel, but there would have been far less talk about the state of water or air pollution. Today, we hear far less about other planets than the environmental state of this one. Much of our current discussion is voicing frustration and distress over the possibility that the very technological progress enabling us to visit other worlds may have done irreparable harm to

A big hello, my reading friend. You will be happy to hear (read?), or not, that our subject of the week has, oh surprise, a direct link to the main fields of activity of my august employer, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum of Ottawa, Ontario. Yours truly found said subject as I was going through Le Petit Journal . Specifically, I was going through the 25 May 1969 issue of this weekly from Montréal, Québec, no longer published today. Would you like to be on the Moon to spend your holidays, my

Citizen science: Observing meteor showers

Watching a "shooting star" unexpectedly dart across a starry sky is awe inspiring. People will often ask, "What was that?" or "Where did it come from?" Beyond the inevitable "ooohs" and "ahhhs," there is an entire astronomical field devoted to their study. Meteor science is also one of the few remaining fields where amateur astronomers, equipped with only their eyes, can still contribute valuable data to the scientific community. I vividly remember spending a part of my childhood in my backyard

My reading friend whose wrath reaches the stars, I humbly beg you to forgive the non-aeronautical topic of this issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee. My main excuse is that last week’s peroration revolved around Antarctic expeditions in the 1930s. A second topic on the same continent seemed most appropriate to me. Reading the short text that accompanied the photo above, published in the 3 May 1959 issue of La Patrie du dimanche , a weekly from Montréal, Québec, which disappeared a few decades

Greetings, he who has spent a great deal of time over a keyboard salutes you. While I realise that spring is in the air, up here, did you stop for a moment to think about the people currently living in Antarctica, for whom the month of May is a harbinger of winter? And yes, my reading friend, as the caption of the photo above, found in the May 1939 of the Canadian aviation monthly Canadian Aviation , states all too clearly, our topic of the week has to do with the land at the bottom of the world
