Mars Rover Captures 1st Sound of Dust Devil on Red Planet
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—What’s a dust devil sound like on Mars? A NASA rover by chance had its microphone on when a whirling tower of red dust passed directly overhead, recording the racket. It’s about 10 seconds of not only rumbling gusts of up to 25 mph (40 kph), but the pinging of hundreds of dust…
Aussies Play Key Role in New Space Mission
Not far from Los Angeles, one of Elon Musk’s rockets is about to blast off carrying a satellite with extraordinary capabilities. It will be used to survey nearly all the water on the surface of Earth for the very first time. The data will provide an unprecedented depth of knowledge about the Earth’s bodies of…
Not yet Over the Moon: Here’s What’s on the Horizon for Canadian Space Exploration
When Nathalie Nguyen-Quoc Ouellette was young, she didn’t see many stars in the bright skies over Montreal. But she would pore over the colourful, otherworldly images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and dream of becoming an astrophysicist. “I really fell in love with space and astronomy,” she said. “There’s so much left to discover.” Today,…
