Researchers from Western have shown that a fireball that originated at the edge of the Solar System was likely made of rock, not ice, challenging long-held beliefs about how the Solar System was formed. Just at the edge of our Solar System and halfway t …
Western’s Physics & Astronomy Department has always had an eye to the sky, and now some faculty are part of that vast galaxy.
Sometimes opportunity just falls out of the sky – especially if you’re Physics and Astronomy professor Peter Brown.
While more than 120,000 Canadians have pacemakers – and an estimated 25,000 new ones are implanted each year – these patients are unknowingly putting themselves at risk of a lower standard of care down the road.
If one looks back at the last 40 years, there have been incredible accomplishments and technological advancements and amazing scientific discoveries.
As Western prepares to welcome delegates from academia, industry and government next week for the 2012 Canadian Space Summit, a Canadian Space Agency (CSA) official says thanks to scientists and researchers, like those affiliated with the Centre for Planetary Science and Exploration (CPSX), Canada is well positioned to remain a major player on the global stage.
In advance of the 2012 Canadian Space Summit, Western professors Gordon Osinski, Peter Brown and Phil Stooke speak about Canada’s – and the world’s – next steps into the final frontier.
After seeing Western’s undergraduate Science laboratories, the University of Nigeria (UNN) would like to take them home with them, or at least have the next best thing and build their own.
For this self-described ‘Child of Apollo,’ there was no question where he would land one day.
Award-winning Western planetary cartographer Philip Stooke will officially launch his latest project, “The International Atlas of Mars Exploration – The First Five Decades: 1953 to 2003”, on Wednesday.
Western News recently ran a timely piece by Adela Talbot reporting on the provincial initiative by Glen Murray to reshape Ontario universities (Blowing it up, Sept. 6). It is clear Murray’s ideas would constitute a fundamental change in what most people understand as the principal mandate of universities.
After an eight-month, and nearly 570 million km journey across space, the space vehicle ‘Curiosity’ – or Mars Science Laboratory – will make a harrowing touchdown on the planet Mars this Monday (Aug. 6) and you are invited to share this thrilling ride and piece of space history with Western.
Western University planetary geologist Gordon ‘Oz’ Osinski and his research team will be joined by Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen in the Canadian Arctic to investigate a possible new meteorite impact crater which, in turn, will help prepare for future international missions to the Moon or Mars.
