A spectacular explosion, or flare, on the surface of the sun is causing the night sky here on Earth to light up with the aurora borealis.
The solar flare occurred on Sunday and was directed at the Earth. By Tuesday morning Space Weather Canada, the federal government agency that monitors such activity, issued a geomagnetic storm watch.

Michel Doyon's lack of sleep as of late has nothing to do with the usual reasons.
What's interrupting Doyon's shut-eye is concern about space debris slamming into three Canadian satellites that orbit the Earth.
The threats come from pieces of space junk that on average are about the size of a softball.

Based on recent experiences of the IAC, the Naples technical programme promises to be one of the most varied and detailed ever.
The IAF Technical Committees, the IAA Commissions and the IISL Programme Committees contain some of the world’s best recognised experts in their fields. These bodies will independently or jointly discuss, propose and run Symposia, with the International Programme Committee making the final choice of papers for the 63rd IAC.
The technical programme for 2012 Congress is shown here. All Symposia are grouped into four categories, A. Science and Exploration, B. Applications and Operations, C. Technology, D. Infrastructure and E. Space and Society, so that it should be easy for everybody to find where to go. You are highly encouraged to submit abstracts for the Congress to be held in the wonderful
city of Naples! To submit your abstract, please visit www.iafastro.org.

The Canadian Air and Space Museum has been closed to make room for hockey rinks, news that came as a shock to its staff.
The museum — a repository of Canadian aviation history located in Downsview Park in Toronto's north end — was shuttered Tuesday because it was $120,000 behind in its rent, said chairman Ian McDougall.
It had begun generating more revenue and was in a position to begin making payments but the Crown corporation in charge of the site, Parc Downsview Park, wasn't interested. Read more at CBC.ca.
The Canadian Air and Space Museum plays a vital role in the preservation and acknowledgement of Canada's contribution to the aerospace industry. To find out how you can help save this national landmark, email
