It’s just a coincidence, but Arizona is the location of both NASA training and Western University Planetary Surface Processes Field School this month.

The early lunar crust had a lot of water at the beginning of our solar system’s formation, more than four billion years ago. The new research from a Western University postdoctoral fellow on this topic was published in Nature Astronomy on Jan. 15.

Most Canadian live in a city where the view of the majestic night sky is impacted by light pollution. If they could see the sky in the countryside they would be amazed at the amount of satellites that are flying overhead. A project at Western University is now using meteor tracking cameras to monitor the growing number of satellites in orbit.

Planetary geologist and crater expert Gordon Osinski of Western University was travelling in a remote area when he heard the historic news.

A red Jeep skids nearby a menacing tornado. Moments later, a science team hops out with a bunch of flying sensors they hope to inject inside. They then speed off to shelter to await the results.

Five Canadian CubeSat Project Satellites and the Canadian Space Agency CARDIOBREATH research experiment are scheduled for launch Saturday, June 3, 2023 at 12:35 p.m. ET.

Three Canadian researches have been awarded funding for 2022-23 science investigations using the AstroSat astronomy space based observatory.

Whether it’s searching for exoplanets like Avatar’s Pandora with the Pandora SmallSat, or investigating dark energy and dark matter, Canadian researchers are taking advantage of space science research opportunities offered by the Canadian Space Agency.

Who should be allowed to practice medicine in space? The logical answer would seem to be ‘medical doctors’, but the actual answer isn’t as simple as that.
