Good morning or good evening, my reading friend. And no, this article has nothing to do with the Exposition universelle et internationale de Montréal held in 1967. My apologies and ... You do not understand the link between Expo 67 and the title of this issue in our blog / newsletter / thingee, do you? Sigh. Let it be known that Un jour, un jour was the title of the theme song of the exhibition. Seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with the performer chosen to popularize his work, Québec singer

If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring a distant planet, now’s your chance – and you don’t even have to leave Ottawa to do it. This spring, the public is invited to test-drive a virtual reality application at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. The application – called Minerva Prime – is being developed by a group of students from Algonquin College. Dushan Horvat, the professor for the Game Development class working on Minerva Prime, explains the application’s theme. “Humankind has already

Hej, my reading friend, and... You seem puzzled. Oh, hej means hello in Danish. So, grab yourself one, Danish that is, the pastry of course. We have a story to share. If yours truly was to utter the word Himmelskibet, what thought or image would pop into your mind? Not much, from the feel of it, but that’s quite all right. Let us begin our journey through space and time. The month and year were February 1918. Sorrow, pain, despair and anger reigned across Europe, North America and beyond. For

The Interstellar Asteroid

There are almost one million asteroids and comets in our solar system. And every single one of them (we think) formed here, within our solar system, alongside the planets just over 4.5 billion years ago. However, in the summer months of 2017, an object not borne from the Solar System made a silent entrance, whipped around the Sun in September 2017, and started heading out again, never to return. This object, now named ‘Oumuamua, was the first asteroid discovered from outside the solar system

Telescope brings Western and Indigenous astronomy into focus

Two streams of astronomical thought and practice are represented in a stunning display at the Canada Science and Technology Museum – but visitors will need to act fast in order to see it. A telescope made by Eustachio Divini – an extremely fragile and valuable artifact which dates back to 1665 – is on international loan for the next six months, after travelling all the way from the Museo Galileo in Florence, Italy to Ottawa. The unexpected backdrop to this ornamented artifact – which is regally

ALMA Returns to the Boomerang Nebula

The Boomerang Nebula is the coldest location in the known universe at roughly 2 degrees colder than empty space! This nebula is the result of the death of a red giant star, and the extreme temperature is caused by the rapid expansion of the nebula. According to thermodynamics, if you expand a gas you cool a gas (just try using one of those compressed air cans for cleaning electronics). However, according to astronomers, a single star's death could not account for a strong enough wind to create

Planets like 'Tatooine' Could Still Be Habitable

The first exosolar planet (a planet orbiting a star other than the Sun) was discovered in 1995, and since then humans have found over 3600 planets outside of our solar system. Some of those found are orbiting not one star like we do, but two stars. For example, stars Kepler-35A and 35B orbit each other, but a planet Kepler-35b, orbits both of them. This is much more like the fantasy word Tatooine in the space epic Star Wars than our own planet Earth. In A New Hope, we see young Luke Skywalker

Even nearing the end, the Cassini spacecraft is still producing amazing science. This story focuses on Saturn's moon Enceladus; researchers from Cornell University in New York say they have found evidence that the moon has changed its polar axis of spin. This is based on features they've found on the surface of the moon.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued a challenge to its public: increase the efficiency of one of its high-level research software and win $55,000 USD. Many of us forget that NASA also works in aeronautics, not just space. In order to develop cutting edge air planes and other flight tech, NASA begins with simulating airflow using a Fortran code called FUN3D. However, FUN3D isn't able to keep up with some of the simulations its been given. As a result, NASA has
