  • Royal Astronomical Society of Canada: Victoria Centre
    ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF CANADA: VICTORIA CENTRE Comet NEOWISE, July 16th, 2020, by Daniel Posey A Comet Tale Physically isolated from their fellow RASCals, many members of the local amateur astronomy community were experiencing a state of isolation from their own telescopes, until the Comet NEOWISE called them to action. It hasn’t just been the amateur astronomy community paying attention to our celebrity comet either. With the prospects of a bright comet in the northern night sky, members of the public have been regularly gathering in large numbers, in places like Mount Tolmie, Mount Doug, and along the waterfront of Greater Victoria. SKYNEWS August 2020 ISSUE #420 Page 1 ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF CANADA: VICTORIA CENTRE The Comet NEOWISE takes its name from the Near Earth Object survey mission it was discovered on, by astronomers using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer space telescope, long before it became the bright comet in the night sky. For those of us without space telescopes at our disposal, early on the comet was best viewed in the early hours of the morning, something prohibitive to many of us who are still working regular hours or who are allergic to getting up in the pre-dawn hours. However, by the second half of July, the comet was clearly visible in the early evening, wandering its way towards and then underneath the constellation Ursa Major. After being teased for weeks with stories of the comet of the century, we all finally had a good view of the spectacle. The arrival of the comet this year not only resulted in a renaissance of astrophotography and observing (as seen by Sherry Buttnor’s image top right and Bill Weir’s sketch bottom right), among our Centre’s membership, but has inspired many members of the public to take up astronomy as a hobby.

  • Craigdarroch Military Hospital: a Canadian War Story
    Craigdarroch Military Hospital: A Canadian War Story Bruce Davies Curator © Craigdarroch Castle 2016 2 Abstract As one of many military hospitals operated by the federal government during and after The Great War of 1914-1918, the Dunsmuir house “Craigdarroch” is today a lens through which museum staff and visitors can learn how Canada cared for its injured and disabled veterans. Broad examination of military and civilian medical services overseas, across Canada, and in particular, at Craigdarroch, shows that the Castle and the Dunsmuir family played a significant role in a crucial period of Canada’s history. This paper describes the medical care that wounded and sick Canadian soldiers encountered in France, Belgium, Britain, and Canada. It explains some of the measures taken to help permanently disabled veterans successfully return to civilian life. Also covered are the comprehensive building renovations made to Craigdarroch, the hospital's official opening by HRH The Prince of Wales, and the question of why the hospital operated so briefly. By highlighting the wartime experiences of one Craigdarroch nurse and one Craigdarroch patient, it is seen that opportunities abound for rich story- telling in a new gallery now being planned for the museum. The paper includes an appendix offering a synopsis of the Dunsmuir family’s contributions to the War. 3 Table of Contents Introduction................................................................................................................................. 04 I.
