Today marks the 150th anniversary of the expedition of the HMS Challenger - often described as the birth of oceanography!

On the 21st of December, 1872 the HMS Challenger set sail from Portsmouth, UK and began a 3 ยฝ year voyage of discovery, exploring the global deep-sea for the first time ever ๐Ÿ‹

You can learn more about the Challenger expedition and the incredible marine science that has been going on since then in our new 'Discover the Deep' permanent exhibition, thanks to National Lottery Heritage Fund Scotland ๐ŸŒŠ

๐ŸŒƒ Solstice time! ๐ŸŒƒ

This an all-sky view from just above Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh. The top red line shows the path of the Sun on the Summer solstice, and the bottom line is the path of the Sun today, the Winter solstice - shortest day of the year. Long, dark nights = perfect time for stargazing! โœจ

You can come and learn more about the night skies and what you can see at different times of year in our 'What's Up' LIVE Planetarium show, daily at Dynamic Earth!

Itโ€™s been super cold outside these last few days, and we've been loving the wintery mornings here at Dynamic Earth! But, have you ever wondered how Polar Bears stay warm living in the Arctic? ๐Ÿปโ€โ„๏ธโ„๏ธ

Polar Bears have a special layer of fat, called โ€˜blubberโ€™ and a thick layer of white fur. And beneath these layers, they actually have black skin! This means that when Polar Bears warm up they do not lose much heat, and can stay warm for longer. Just like when you wear a jumper and coat, and layer up to keep warm!

We have some super cute Polar Bears hiding out and keeping warm in our Gift Shop right now - why not come along and check out our range of fascinating and unique gifts while you're visiting Dynamic Earth, or pick up a present for that special someone's Christmas stocking... ๐Ÿ˜โญ๏ธ๐ŸŽ„

โœจ๐Ÿš€ Space News! ๐Ÿš€โœจ

We are wishing NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration the best of luck as they attempt to launch Artemis I - the first in the Artemis program which hopes to take people back to the Moon for the first time in 50 years!

The launch window opens at 6:04am on the 16th November so, if all goes to plan, we could be waking up on Wednesday to the return of Lunar exploration! ๐ŸŒ–

Artemis I is an un-crewed mission which will fly around the far side of the Moon testing out all the rocketโ€™s systems before Artemis II takes humans on a similar flight. Then, in 2025 NASA hopes to land people on the Moon once again.

GOOD LUCK ARTEMIS! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€

This November an international group of research scientists are embarking on an exciting expedition to help us understand giant earthquakes and mega-tsunamis. IODP Expedition 386 is taking place on board a research vessel in Japan where sediment cores from 8km deep in the ocean trench will be examined by a group of scientists from around the world. By studying the sedimentary record, a long history of seismic activity can be reconstructed. ๐Ÿšข

Japan is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an approximately 40,000 km long arc-shaped belt around the Pacific Ocean where more than 90% of stress accumulated by global plate tectonics is released. The majority of Earthโ€™s earthquakes occur here, including two of the largest known magnitude: the giant 9.2 Mw Sumatra earthquake in 2004 and the 9.0 Mw Tohokuoki earthquake in 2011. ๐ŸŒ‹

These high impact earthquakes and associated tsunamis were major geological events with catastrophic societal consequences, and the evidence of these and perhaps many more huge earthquakes through time is held in the sediments, waiting for discovery.

Join Dynamic Earth's Learning Team and the British Geological Survey on Microsoft Teams for a live link-up to the research ship to hear about their amazing research and life onboard, with opportunities to ask questions to the on-board scientists, too!

You may have seen in the news that the all-important COP27 conference has started - but what is COP27 and why should we care? ๐ŸŒŽ

COP is an abbreviation for the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (you can tell why they shorten it!) The meeting is held annually, and 2022 is the 27th meeting, held this year in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt. COP meetings are a unique opportunity for world leaders and their representatives to come together and discuss how the planet can navigate the potential disasters linked to climate change. ๐ŸŒŽ

Many have described COP27 as a defining moment, in terms of making real change to save our planet - scientific fact shows that the window of opportunity to take action is closing rapidly and we all must work together to overcome the issues we face. We will certainly be watching the outcomes of COP27 closely.... ๐ŸŒŽ

๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŽ MARINE FAMILY SCIENCE SHOWCASE ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŽ

We are super excited to be hosting this free event at the weekend! Join us here at Dynamic Earth, where you'll have the chance to meet some of our marine science experts from the University of Aberdeen and the Scottish Seabird Centre to ask them anything you wanted to know about our awesome oceans & the work that they do. ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ

Find out about our local seabird populations, explore how we design ships, and discover some incredible technology that scientists are using to investigate some of the smallest creatures in the oceans! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฆ

This event is part of Dynamic Earthโ€™s Discovering the Deep project that has received funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund - thanks to National Lottery players!

As part of National Engineering Day, weโ€™re telling the story of HMS Challengerโ€™s expedition which explored the deep-sea, looking at the incredible science and engineering of the expedition that paved the way for the marine science we see today!

We began to investigate ocean depths and salinity 150 years ago with the basic equipment that you can see in the first image, this was state of the art engineering at the time! Fast forward to today, improvements in engineering allow us to take measurements at extraordinary depths, with equipment such as the CTD which can take multiple measurements at multiple depths on a single launch!

To learn more about the evolution of engineering in marine science over the past 150 years, head over to our Twitter page for our thread at https://twitter.com/ourdynamicearth

What is Dynamic Earth?

Travel back to the beginning of time in our Time Machine before rocketing through the universe in a spaceship travelling billions of times faster than the speed of light and see stars explode on the other side of the galaxy. Feel the ground shudder as a molten lava flow speeds straight towards you and volcanoes throw clouds of ash and gas into the sky. The Polar ice caps are brought to within your reach giving you the chance to touch an iceberg for yourself. Fly high above ice cold glaciers and marvel at their power as they carve out entire continents. From your dizzying height itโ€™ll feel so real you could almost be there before you soar from the sky and dive beneath the ocean in an epic 4D adventure across the globe. Experience films in the 360 degree ShowDome Cinema. New for 2019 watch Capcom Go! The Apollo Story - 50 years after the first moon landing, this film tells the story of the Apollo space programme, one of humankindโ€™s greatest achievements. There are many films to choose from throughout the day, visit website to see daily schedule.

Upmo students visited Dynamic Earth last week as part of 'Our Solar System and Beyond', a new partnership project with the team at Dynamic Earth.

During this visit, student's experienced 'You Are Here' in the Planetarium, a show that brought the scale of the solar system to life. Additionally, they learned about other topics from exhibits across the building, taking a particular interest in Arctic Ecosystems!

This research will lead towards the student's own multimedia presentation for Dynamic Earth's planetarium this Summer, made through a series of digital workshops at Upmo.
