The Dominion Observatory's Historic Telescope, part 2

Associate Fellow, University of King's College and Research Associate, Maritime Museum of the Atlantic

The Dominion Observatory's Historic Telescope, part 2 Surveyor and astronomer, Otto Klotz (1852-1923) envisioned an observatory whose function in Canada mirrored that of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, but with a supporting role for surveyors. The result was the founding of the Dominion Observatory with William Frederick King (1854-1916), the Chief Astronomer, as its first Director. The Observatory’s primary function was to mark the primary longitude for Canada and the determination and

Foreword This Collection Profile was originally written in 2005 by Dr. Brooks to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Dominion Observatory. It will be released weekly as a four-part series of articles. The Observatory remains a notable landmark on the grounds of the Central Experimental Farm National Historic Site of Canada, a short walk down the street from the Canada Agricultural and Food Museum in Ottawa. The 15-inch equatorial telescope remained the primary instrument there from 1905

A conversation with a honeybee (Part 1)

Sarah I.K.M. King, Eng., PhD

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Technology

In honour of World Honeybee Day on August 18, let’s imagine what a honeybee might say if it had the chance to chat with a human*. On a hot summer day, after working long hours in my garden — taking care of my flowers and vegetables — I decided to rest in the shade of my apple tree and read a few pages. No sooner had I sat down when a little bee fell onto my book. I heard her crying for help, “Please, somebody help me. Help!” I answered, “I’m here, are you OK?” She was breathing heavily and

The veins of Mother Earth: Underwater cave exploration with Jill Heinerth

Cassidy Swanston

Canada Science and Technology Museum

As a child, Jill Heinerth dreamed of being an astronaut. As a Canadian girl growing up in the twentieth century, this option didn’t seem accessible to her. Instead of a career that blasted her far above the Earth’s surface, she forged her own path deep within the Earth. She discovered a place where she could still explore hidden worlds, floating weightlessly. Although water is the lifeblood of our planet, we somehow know more about the cosmos than we do about our Earth’s own underwater caves

Homeward Bound: Women in Science and Leadership in Antarctica

Dr. Shelley Ball

Guest Writer, Biosphere Environmental Education

What better place to sharpen one’s leadership skills than amidst the harsh landscape of Antarctica. The frozen continent is filled with stories of leadership from the early 20th century explorers and their race to be the first to set foot on the South Pole. For 76 of us from around the world - all women with science backgrounds - Antarctica was the backdrop for our own explorations into leadership.

Citizen science: Where research meets the public

Cassidy Swanston

Canada Science and Technology Museum

Are you interested in learning about how the world works? You don’t need a lab or degree to explore – citizen science projects all over the world bring discovery to your home, backyard, or community. Citizen science is the product of researchers teaming up with the public to solve scientific issues. Projects exist in almost every field, including ecology, astronomy, molecular biology, and genomics. “Crowd-sourcing” research allows for data to be collected from all over the world, and benefits
