The refracting telescopes of amateur astronomer Lucien E. Coallier, Ville de Laval, Québec. They were used for the observation of the Moon (left) and stars. Roland Prévost, “À Ville de Laval, le meilleur observatoire d’amateur au Canada pour l’étude de la Lune.” La Presse, 7 June 1969, 77.

The Sun, beautiful. The Moon, even more beautiful. Oh yeah

Space, the final frontier. These were / are the voyages of generations of amateur astronomers. I hope that this introduction, combined with the above photograph, extracted from the bowels of the 7 June 1969 issue of La Presse of Montréal, Québec, the largest French-language daily newspaper in North America, stoked your curiosity just a little bit. I must confess that the observation of the celestial vault does not tug at my heartstrings. What about you, my reading friend? This being said (typed

Larry Brown with the model rocket that carried Max the mouse. Léon Bernard, “Le passe-temps préféré de Larry Brown, de Québec – Lancer des fusées avec des grenouilles et des souris à leur bord.” Le Petit Journal, 25 May 1969, 22.

Love and rockets: A few words, a great many actually, on Larry Brown

Rénald Fortier

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Hellooo there, my reading friend, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to examine the picture above, drawn from the bowels of the 25 May 1969 issue of a weekly newspaper from Montréal, Québec, that we both know very well, Le Petit Journal. Are we all ready? Perfect. Let’s go. There will be a test. Our central character of the week, the American Larry Brown, began to take an interest in model rocketry / space modelling / astromodelling around 1959, and ... What do I hear? You want to

The various Moon sights accessible to the tourists travelling with Trans International Airlines Incorporated. Arthur Prévost, “Sur la mer des Pluies sans… parapluie – Arthur Prévost a fait sa demande pour aller sur la Lune; c’est accepté…” Le Petit Journal, 25 May 1969, 7.

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

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Technology

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

Volunteer week: An inside look at the volunteers at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Moon rocket model of the Canadian Rocket Society, Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, Ontario, 1948. Anon., “Un groupe de Canadiens n’attend que des capitaux pour construire une fusée qui les mènera à la lune.” Photo-Journal, 3 February 1949, 44.

Zoom, zoom, zoom, fly me to the Moon

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Bienvenue and welcome, my faithful if slightly masochistic reading friend, for another conversation on the wonders of aviation and space as seen through illustrations found all over the place. For this week’s issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee, for example, yours truly went back to a frequent source of mine, a long defunct weekly newspaper from Montréal, Québec, Photo-Journal, more specifically the 3 February 1949 issue. Even though I am far more familiar / comfortable with the aviation

Jules Gabriel Verne would not have been amused: From the Earth to the Moon

May I begin this article by offering you my most sincere salutations, my reading frfiend? I am very pleased indeed to be with you again. If yours truly may paraphrase the title of a rather popular 1991 song by the American hip hop trio Salt-n-Pepa, let’s talk about space. More specifically, let’s talk about a forgotten space movie whose premiere occurred 60 years ago this month, in other words in November 1958. From the Earth to the Moon was an adaptation of a well known novel, From the Earth to

Junior inventors aim to make life easier in space

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

As we celebrate World Space Week 2018, kids from across Canada have been busy thinking up creative ideas about how to improve the human experience in space. Last year, Little Inventors — a U.K.-based organization — launched an initiative called Little Inventors: Inventions for Space, in partnership with the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Canadian Space Agency. Kids across Canada were challenged to dream up ideas to make life easier — and more fun — in

Celebrate World Space Week with a book!

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Technology

World Space Week is celebrated each year from October 4 to 10. This year’s theme is “Space Unites the World” which truly reflects one of humanity’s greatest achievements — international cooperation in space. Orbiting our planet at any given time is a team of highly-trained astronauts from several different countries, living and working together on the International Space Station. Astronauts build a bond of kinship through their shared experiences that include learning about each other’s

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Hello, my reading friend, hello. Would you be unhappy if yours truly brought to our menu a largely spatial subject? Yes? No? Oh I see. Very well. We will talk about space today, despite all opposition. Indeed, the august institution for which I have the honour and pleasure of working, most of the time, is the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, Ontario. You will notice the presence of the word space in this name. I would therefore like to highlight this week the 60th anniversary of the
