This telescope is really really big: 39 m (128')! Welcome to the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) project. Canada is now part of it with an $11.3M investment in an instrument for it called ANDES, a spectroscope. (Psst, guess where the telescope is located.) dunlap.utoronto.ca/canada-no…

This will trash the night skies and our upper atmosphere, without any thoughtful consideration of what it will do. So if you're cheering on the launch of bigger and bigger rockets, be careful what you wish for them to do. spaceweather.com/archive.php…

Astronauts and engineers are the people most people imagine working in the space economy. But as the industry matures, room for others is opening up, according to the latest Canadian named to a crew going to the International Space Station, Joshua Kutryk. spaceq.ca/csa-astronaut-josh…

With so many cuts to space programmes, such as to Canada's lunar rover programme, here's a bright spot. $200M over 10 years to develop a Canadian sovereign space launch capability at a spaceport situated near Canso, Nova Scotia. New talent will be needed! springboardatlantic.ca/canad…

You've been to the Moon and back, now what do you do? Jeremy Hansen was back "at the office" doing more tests. We also note that previous Space Place Canada webinar presenters, Canadian Strategic Missions Corp., won the $400k Aqualunar Challenge prize. cbc.ca/news/science/artemisi…

Speaking of hard-working Canadians contributing to #Artemis II, let us not forget the critical role played by Jenni Gibbons, Jeremy Hansen's colleague and backup. Long hours of the same training as the others and needed to be ready to step in at any moment.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/c…
