An image of the Boomerang Nebula.

The Coldest Place in the Universe

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Boomerang Nebula is the coldest location in the known universe: it measures 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

Understanding India's new GSLV-MK3 rocket

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

On 5 June 2017, India performed a full launch test of their GSLV-MK3, putting a test-satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit. This is a huge step forward for the India Space Research Organisation (ISRO), which could eventually use this rocket for human space travel. For the details on the rocket itself, as well as a rundown of ISRO's history check out this article from the Planetary Society.

What You Need to Know About the Final 11 Orbits of Cassini

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Cassini spacecraft has only 11 more orbits left of the ringed planet Saturn before its destruction. On September 15th, 2017, Cassini will make a planned plunge into the clouds of Saturn, which will cause it to break up. The science is packed in for Cassini over these orbits: it will study the rings by imaging and sampling, create a more accurate gravitational map of Saturn, and measure the magnetic field of Saturn. Here take a look at the summary of science in the final phase of the Grand

Planetary Scientists are Thinking About how to Visit Uranus and Neptune

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A team of planetary scientists pulled together by NASA has created a preliminary report on how and when humans could send a probe to Uranus, Neptune, or both. The two Ice Giant planets are easily the least explored in the solar system, owing in part to their distance from the Sun, and competing interests elsewhere. However, with the success of recent missions to Jupiter and Mars, and Cassini coming to a close at Saturn, it has prompted NASA (and the space agencies of other countries) to look

A false colour image taken by NASA's Sentinel-1A focussed on the 130 kilometer-long crack in the Larsen C ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Tracking a Crack in the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Scientists have been closely following the growth of a large crack in the Larsen C ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula. From late 2016 until now, the crack has grown about 150 km long, accelerating in late June 2017. In these dark months, the most recent observations have been done by Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on Landsat 8. If the crack reaches the coast, which is just about 13 km away, the ice will begin to calve and could be the largest iceberg ever recorded.

How to Reduce Wear and Tear on Wheel Treads for the Curiosity Rover

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Curiosity rover has been on Mars since 2012, and has contributed much to our understanding of the Martian environment in the past and present. In 2016, NASA performed a routine wheel examination to keep track of the wear and tear of the wheels. Cracks and holes are starting to appear in the gaps between the treads. After 5 years into this mission, it's not a surprise the wheels have started to wear, however, NASA wants to squeeze as much time out of them as possible. In March, they uploaded

Marine Life in the Deep

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Marine Biodiversity Hub is massive project aimed at understanding Australian marine biodiversity. They publish a blog daily called 'Blogging the Abbys' that is rich with science explained simply and stories from thousands of meters below the surface. In this post, the researchers talk about what they find in the mud from the bottom of the ocean.

How to Understand Human Health: Collect a Tonne of Data

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The New York Times wrote a great piece describing a new research initiative called The Human Project. Its goal is to collect data on 10,000 people for 20 years covering everything from diet, exercise, social habits, computer use, and more. The expectation is we will learn more about the human condition than ever before based on the sheer volume of data available.

Volcanoes Signaled the End for Dinosaurs

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has concluded that a mass extinction event allowed for the rise of the dinosaurs. At the end of the Triassic period, approximately 200 million years ago, a period of 'pulsed volcanism' radically changed the climate of Earth, leading to the eradication of many species. The vacant ecological niches led to the rise of the dinosaurs. The study relied on measuring the concentration of mercury levels in rocks from

A Senator and a Citizen Scientist

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Senator Bernie Fowler from Maryland, USA has been measuring the clarity of the water in the Patuxent River every June for the last 30 years. His chosen method of measurement? White sneakers. He wades into the river until he cannot see his white sneakers anymore and then records how deep the water is at that point. Some years he can wade in much further than others. What began as a simple test of the health of Maryland's waters has turned into a 30 year long citizen science and public outreach
