An artists impression of the Extremely Large Telescope, to be in use by 2024.

ESO Signs Contracts for the ELT’s Gigantic Primary Mirror

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Looks like progress for the European Southern Observatory's Extremely Large Telescope. Two contracts were awarded to companies to build and test the 39 mirror segments (each 1.4 meters across). Once completed, ELT will be the largest optical telescope on the planet.

Newsroom: Canada Aviation and Space Museum joins national partners on search-and-recovery of free-flight Avro Arrow models from Lake Ontario

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Canada Aviation and Space Museum is proud to support OEX Recovery Group Incorporated (“OEX”), in a project involving the search-and-recovery of nine free-flight Avro Arrow models from Lake Ontario.

Collection Highlights: Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow 2

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Intended to replace the Avro Canada CF-100, the CF-105 Arrow was a technical masterpiece at the forefront of aviation engineering during its time. The Canadian government believed, however, that the manned bomber threat was diminishing and that air defence could be better handled by unmanned BOMARC missiles. The contract was cancelled on February 20, 1959 while test flying was still in progress. By then five Arrows had flown. The government ordered all completed Arrows, related documentation

What Else is Lurking at Proxima Centauri?

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

What's the closest star to Earth? Answer: Proxima Centauri, one of three stars in the Alpha Centauri star system. Proxima Centauri is a small M-dwarf star, meaning it is red in colour, and has a relatively cool stellar temperature of about 3000°K. While small, weighing in at 12% the mass of the Sun, M-dwarf stars are the most common star type in the Universe. In 2016, an international group of researchers discovered a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri that is about 1.5x larger than Earth: the

Three moons of Saturn collected in one image: Atlas, Pan, Daphnis. These moons have large equatorial bulges.

The Walnut-Shaped Moons of Saturn

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Cassini spacecraft has made some truly remarkable discoveries within the Saturnian system, where it has been orbiting for the last 13 years. One such discovery is of the walnut-shaped moons: Atlas, Daphnis, and Pan. These moons sport a prominent equatorial ridge pattern circumnavigating the moons (Saturn's moon Iapetus also as an equatorial feature, though not as prominent as these). The ridges are due to where the moons are located. They are all located in or very near to the ring system

How Did Humans Stumble Across Yogurt?

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Yogurt is ubiquitous across most cultures (har har... science pun), and has an ancient origin. If you ever wondered what gives yogurt its taste, and how you could make it yourself .. check out this article from "Science & Food."

Research has Shown Ponds Along the Mississippi are Growing in Size due to Wind Erosion

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A study published in the April 2017 issue of Geophysical Research Letters has shown that ponds are, on average, growing in size, and that growth is caused by the prevailing winds. This was shown by the study of over 10,000 satellite images taken between 1982 to 2016. A study like this will help conservation and environmental workers develop plans for maintaining vulnerable ponds.

Scientists at CERN have Discovered a New Particle

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have discovered a new particle, called Xi-cc++. The name doesn't roll off the tongue very well, but the discovery will help understand how the nuclei of atoms hold themselves together. There are four fundamental forces in the Universe: the weak force, the strong force, the electromagnetic force, and the gravitational force. The strong force is responsible for holding the nucleus of an atom together; for example, a regular helium atom's nucleus has

The Best Scan of Human Brain Wiring to Date

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A group of scientists from Cardiff University, in collaboration with engineers from Siemens, have created the most detailed scan of the white matter in a human brain. White matter refers to the connecting material, or the 'wiring' that connects regions of our brain together. The study also shows which way the signals in our brain move, as well as the density of the white matter in different regions.

Collecting and Connecting

Curators do many things at our three museums – research, develop exhibits, respond to research requests, provide content for museum programs, and host the public, scholars and students in our collections. Collecting, however, is our most important activity. Through collecting we create a material legacy for Canadians; through the act of collecting we connect with Canadians and help connect Canadians with each other. Collecting is not just collection building, it is community building.
