3 things you should know about the science behind the diversity of Canada's winter precipitation, the April 2024 solar eclipse and how to safely watch it, and how the new methods of bioponics can make hydroponic agriculture organic

Michelle Campbell Mekarski, PhD

Canada Science and Technology Museum

For the February edition, they tell us why there are so many different forms of winter precipitation in much of Canada, how solar eclipses come about and why safety comes first when observing them, and how a new form of agriculture called bioponics makes organic certification of hydroponics possible.

Three images side by side: a toilet bowl expelling a cloud of droplets, a gloved hand holding a test tube containing a small plant, and an infrared view of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io showing spots of volcanic activity covering the moon.

3 things you should know about flushing the toilet, artificial photosynthesis, and volcanic activity on Jupiter's moon

Michelle Campbell Mekarski, PhD

Canada Science and Technology Museum

For the January edition, they explain why you should close the toilet lid before flushing, how we could grow plants without light, and extended volcanic activity on Jupiter's moon Io.

For the January edition, we provide context around the latest developments in aquaculture, Chang’e-5’s samples from the Moon, and how artificial intelligence is helping scientists to understand the behavior of proteins in the bodies of all living things.

Five different moons of Saturn in one image

It’s your chance to name a moon of Saturn

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Normally, when a comet, asteroid, or moon is discovered in our Solar System, the discoverer gets to name the object. This time around, scientists are changing things up! In early October, scientists announced the discovery of 20 new moons in orbit around the planet Saturn. The team who found these new Saturnian satellites have created a Twitter contest, whereby anyone from around the world can suggest names for them. Want to try and name a moon of Saturn? Then check out this article.

One of Saturn's moons might have tipped over

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Even nearing the end, the Cassini spacecraft is still producing amazing science. This story focuses on Saturn's moon Enceladus; researchers from Cornell University in New York say they have found evidence that the moon has changed its polar axis of spin. This is based on features they've found on the surface of the moon.
