The James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) has captured the most spectacular images of deep space ever – and the imagination of millions around the world – but Western astrophysicists and partners (at home and work) Els Peeters and Jan Cami enjoyed a specia …
A team comprised of Western faculty, postdoctoral scholars, graduate and undergraduate students is conducting an analogue Moon mission over the next two weeks.
Fifty years ago today, Apollo 11 launched on a mission to the Moon. Five days later, on July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the lunar surface – a first for humankind.
NASA has thrown its financial support behind project Dragonfly– a drone mission co-led by Western planetary geologist Catherine Neish – to explore Saturn’s massive moon Titan.
As Canada joins NASA’s space mission to explore the mysteries of the moon within the next decade, Western will play a key role in preparing for the journey.
Last week, Western professor Gordon ‘Oz’ Osinski fielded questions about the universe from around the planet when he appeared as a guest on Ask An Astrobiologist.

Physics and Astronomy professor Jan Cami was recently awarded the 2019 Qilak Award for Astronomy Communications, Public Education and Research for his work in keeping Canadian eyes on the stars – and other celestial bodies, the Canadian Astronomical Society announced recently.
Western leaders see the Lunar Gateway project as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Canadian universities to let their research expertise soar as Canada moved today to put ‘the final frontier’ first.
During a space-to-Earth connection today, Saint-Jacques launched Exploring Earth, a web-based initiative in cooperation with Western researchers that uses photos he is taking in orbit to explain the amazing science of how Earth works.
Humankind may be able to reach further back into the history of its nearest planetary neighbour thanks to the efforts of a Western-led team tapped to improve NASA’s rover technology.
Houston, there is no problem here. On Nov. 26, NASA’s InSight mission knew the spacecraft touched down within an 81-mile-long (130-kilometer-long) landing ellipse on Mars. Now, the team has pinpointed InSight’s exact location using images from HiRISE, a powerful...
Western’s new Canada Research Chairs will have global impact on earthquake preparedness, psychology and neuro-imaging.
