3 things you should know about how the DART spacecraft changed the orbit of an asteroid, how we have more than five senses, and how the science of caramel can make you a better cook!

Michelle Campbell Mekarski, PhD

Canada Science and Technology Museum

For the October edition, they explain how the DART spacecraft changed the orbit of an asteroid millions of kilometers from Earth, how we have many more than five senses, and how the science of caramel can make you a better cook

3 things you should know about pumpkins, Trojan asteroids, and embracing your inner zombie

Michelle Campbell Mekarski, PhD

Canada Science and Technology Museum

For the October edition, our science advisors discuss how selective breeding results in more choice at the pumpkin patch, a fly-by of seven Trojan asteroids, and why you need to embrace your “inner zombie.” Happy Halloween!

3 things you should know — September edition

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Meet Renée-Claude Goulet, Jesse Rogerson, and Michelle Campbell Mekarski. These Ingenium employees are professional science communicators, and provide expert advice on key subjects relating to our three museums — the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, and the Canada Science and Technology Museum. In this new monthly blog series, Ingenium’s science communicators offer up three quirky nuggets related to their areas of expertise. For the September edition

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

Saturn's moon Enceladus. Image taken by Cassini

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.

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."

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

Swirling Phytoplankton in the Black Sea

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Around this time of year, the Black Sea blooms with a massive growth of phytoplankton. This particular species of phytoplankton known as coccolithophores, are plated with white calcium carbonate, making the bloom very easy to see from space. NASA's Aqua satellite gathered these data.
