Planets like 'Tatooine' Could Still Be Habitable

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

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

How do you take down super bug bacteria?

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

It's possible you may have heard in the news, or from your friends, that antibiotics are becoming less powerful over time as the bacteria they are designed to attack evolve the ability to resist attacks. A team of researchers from the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, have been working on re-designing a 60-year-old antibiotic called Vancomycin so that the dangerous 'super-bog' enterococci can no longer resist it, and progress looks favourable.

The next generation of Earth Observation: Earth-i

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A new company called Earth-i has announced it will be launching a constellation of satellites into Earth's orbit that will download "fast-turn-around pictures and colour video of the planet's surface."

The Multiple Views of the Total Solar Eclipse

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Total Solar Eclipse of 2017 that crossed the United States garnered international attention. Here in Canada we were treated to a beautiful partial solar eclipse, and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum attracted thousands of visitors to watch. Here NASA has published some of the ways the eclipse was watched, from the ground and from space. My favourite is the above picture because it has the Sun, which is 150 million kilometres away, the Moon, which is 400,000 kilometres away, and the

Hundreds of New Exoplanet Candidates

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A full re-examination of the Kepler Space Telescope's data has revealed an additional 10 new planets that are near-Earth size and in their host-star's habitable zone. Even more interesting, follow-up studies on all of the rocky planets discovered by Kepler (thousands) to-date show that smaller planets come in two sizes. They are either 1.5 Earth Radii and smaller, or 2 Earth Radii and larger. The Kepler Space Telescope held its primary data collection from 2009 to 2013. The total number of

What is the Oldest Living Organism on Earth?

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

"What's the oldest tree or other living organism on Earth?" That question was posed to BBC Crowd Science, and it turns out it's a difficult question to answer. The oldest confirmed organism is a bristlecone pine tree in California that's 5,067 years old. But its possible there are a few other organisms on the planet that are much older.

The Science Behind the Art: Visualizing Astrophysics

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

When you read a scientific story in a popular blog or magazine, many times you will see the caveat "artist interpretation" next to some of the accompanying images. This as a gross undersell of the time, effort, and most important, accuracy, that goes into developing the renders. While we don't know what a black hole or an exoplanet looks like, it is important to attempt to visualize them, and to do it as accurately as possible. This video is an interview with two people who are responsible for

Microsoft AI Masters "Ms. Pac-Man"

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Have you ever played Ms. Pac-Man? If so... have you played over 3000 rounds of it? Because that's how long it took for a Microsoft Artificially Intelligent program called Maluuba to learn how to get the highest possible score in the game, 999999. Check out how it did it... and don't worry, there's no worry of this AI taking over the world.

The History of Homo Sapiens' Origin has Changed

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Researchers from the Max Plank Institute in Germany have found humanoid fossils at a site in Jebel Irhoud, Morocco that are anatomically similar to homo sapiens and are measured to be approximately 315,000 years old. That is over 100,000 years older than the previously known oldest human remains, found in Ethiopia. This evidence completely changes our understanding of where and how-quickly homo sapiens emerged onto the African scene.

Seismological Studies of the Giant Volcanoes of Kamchatka (Russia)

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

An international team of geophysicists from France and Russia have completed a seismological survey of the Kluchevskoy Volcanao Group. They measured the activity between 1 to 10 km below the surface, at the boundary between the Earth's crust and upper mantle. In an initial data release, the researchers found that a few weeks or months in advance of surface activity, the deep magnetic reservoirs become active. Whether or not this could be used for volcanic forecasting remains to be seen. The rest
