Exhibit about history of universe opens at TWOSE
Telus World of Science Edmonton's newest exhibit will offer a chance to explore the oldest parts of the universe's history when it opens on Saturday.
'Stardust: The Universe in You' covers the big bang, or the universe's birth, the creation of stars, and leading research from the James Webb Space Telescope into infrared light.
'It explores basically what is in all of us. How did all the atoms in our universe get their start? How do we go from the big bang to these complex organic molecules that we have here on the earth?' said Frank Florian, the senior manager of planetarium and space science at TWOSE.
'Science itself is always this evolving structure. As we learn new things about the universe, we have to change the way we look at things in the universe itself. So this (exhibit) here creates a bit of an eye-opening experience – and maybe creates more questions than answers.'
The exhibit's interactive features include triggering a supernova, creating a galaxy, walking through a star explosion and experimenting with infrared.

Closure of Winnipeg's Louise Bridge extended after new defects discovered
Social Sharing A century-old bridge connecting Winnipeg's Point Douglas and Elmwood neighbourhoods will remain closed for longer than orginally expected. The Louise Bridge closure has been extended because of newly discovered issues that will require additional time to fix, the city said in a news release Friday evening. The bridge had been closed since May 23 for annual inspection and maintenance. The inspection found corrosion that required repairs the city initially expected to wrap up by the end of July. The city didn't give a new timeline for the bridge's reopening. It said it will provide updates as needed on its lane closures map. The bridge is still open to pedestrians and cyclists. The city said it may reduce access at times to accommodate specific work.
