A heat map of the American south west, including California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. The map indicates where the temperature at a given location is above or below historical average.

The June Heat-Wave of the American South West

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

In June 2017, the American south west experienced some of the hottest temperatures felt in a long time. It was hot enough to ground air planes, and even caused some deaths. NASA's Aqua satellite measured the temperature on the surface of the Earth during the heat wave, and here is some of the results.

A map of Canada which shows the locations of all forest fires and logging between 1985 to 2010.

A complete map of forest disruption in Canada 1985-2011

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Researchers from the Canadian Forest Service have created a time-series map of where and how forests have been disrupted between the years of 1985 and 2011. This is specifically tracking logging/harvesting and forest fires. A staggering 10 percent of our country's total forests saw some kind of damage over the almost 30 years. This type of research is helpful in tracking the Earth's carbon cycle, which is critical to understanding our changing climate.

Deploying "Shazam for Bats" in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London.

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

An international collaboration of scientists have deployed a network of sensors in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London. What do the sensors measure? Sound! Ultrasonic bat calls to be specific. When the sensors hear a bat call, which is beyond the hearing of a human, they automatically attempt to determine the species. The data is uploaded to the cloud, and researchers are then able to keep track of the variety of bat species in the park. This experiment is in its early stages, but ultimately

Science Says Neonicotinoid-Based Pesticides are Bad for Bees

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A large study performed by scientists from England, Hungary, and Germany has concluded that, while individual results may vary, the en masse use of of pesticides containing neonicotinoids leads to weaker Bee colonies.

Astronomers Create Detailed Plans for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) using LEGO®

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is building one of three next generation optical telescopes, called the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). It will have a primary aperture that is 39 meters wide made of segmented mirrors. Astronomer Frans Snik and his team have created detailed LEGO® instructions for you to now build your own ELT. As both an astronomer and lover of LEGO®, I approve of this project. The other two next generation optical telescopes are the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), which

The Sun is Nearing its Periodic Solar Minimum

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Based on counts of sun spots on the surface of the Sun, it looks like our star is heading towards a solar minimum. This happens every 11 years or so, and is related to how the internal and external magnetic fields in the Sun interact with each other. Keeping track of this activity is important, because it can help us predict geomagnetic storms on Earth.

The Newest Space Missions from the ESA

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The European Space Agency (ESA) has just green-lit their next flag-ship mission: the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) project. It is the technological successor to LIGO, the USA-led experiment that recently proved the existence of gravitational waves. LISA will be able to measure the same waves created by black hole mergers much further away than LIGO ever could.

How to Garden in Space

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

If humans are to become a space-fairing species (as many have argued the need for), there are many problems to solve: biology in zero-gravity, energy consumption, water recycling, and food (to name a few). The primary goal of the International Space Station is to solve these problems for long-duration space flight. In their latest video, the Science Mission Directorate at NASA takes a look at what we've learned about growing food in space so far.

Accessible headphone jack

How the Canada Science and Technology Museum designed an accessible, modular headphone jack | Innovation150

Accessible headphone jacks aren’t hard to find nowadays, but they’re always built into your average neighbourhood fixtures, like an ATM. This isn’t the most welcoming design since there’s no way to get the device as a standalone product. But the Canada Science and Technology Museum strives for inclusive design, and since they couldn’t buy an accessible headphone jack, their innovators decided to design their own.

Cassini's first dive, finds "The Big Empty"

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Cassini spacecraft successfully completed its first dive between the planet Saturn and its rings, something no other craft had done before. Before attempting the dive, scientists weren't sure exactly how much dust/debris would exist in this gap. As a precaution, the orbital scientists oriented Cassini so that its radio antennae pointed in the direction of its trajectory to help protect some of its more sensitive instruments. While performing the dive, mission scientists performed
