Ring of Fire - High-Stakes...

Virginia Heffernan

A valuable discovery under the world’s second-largest temperate wetland and in the traditional lands of the Cree and Ojibway casts light on the growing conflict among resource development, environmental stewardship, and Indigenous rights
		 
When prospectors discovered a gigantic crescent of metal deposits under the James Bay Lowlands of northern Canada in 2007, the find touched off a mining rush, lured a major American company to spend fortunes in the remote swamp, and forced politicians to confront their legal duty to consult Indigenous Peoples about development on their traditional territories. But the multibillion-dollar Ring of Fire was all but abandoned when stakeholders failed to reach a consensus on how to develop the cache despite years of negotiations and hundreds of millions of dollars in spending. Now plans for an all-weather road to connect the region to the highway network are reigniting the fireworks.
		 
In this colorful tale, Virginia Heffernan draws on her bush and newsroom experiences to illustrate the complexities of resource development at a time when Indigenous rights are becoming enshrined globally. Ultimately, Heffernan strikes a hopeful note: the Ring of Fire presents an opportunity for Canada to leave behind centuries of plunder and set the global standard for responsible development of minerals critical to the green energy revolution.

Space's Hidden Forces - How Dark...

Dirk Fallon

For centuries, humans have gazed up at the night sky in awe, wondering what lies beyond the stars. With the invention of powerful telescopes, astronomers began mapping galaxies, studying their motion, and uncovering patterns in how they moved through space. But something strange started to appear in the data. Galaxies were spinning in ways that defied the known laws of gravity. Based on what could be seen—the stars, dust, and gas—the galaxies should have been flying apart. The visible mass simply wasn’t enough to account for the gravitational pull holding everything together. This marked the beginning of a great cosmic mystery.
In the 1930s, Swiss-American astronomer Fritz Zwicky made one of the first observations that hinted at this invisible force. He studied a cluster of galaxies and noticed that they were moving too fast to be held together by the visible matter alone. He proposed the existence of “dunkle Materie,” or dark matter—an unknown substance that made up the missing mass. At the time, his ideas were largely ignored or dismissed as speculative. But in the decades that followed, more evidence began to emerge, and dark matter slowly gained credibility within the scientific community.
Fast forward to the 1970s, astronomer Vera Rubin provided some of the most convincing evidence that dark matter was real. By analyzing the rotation curves of spiral galaxies, she showed that stars far from the center of galaxies were moving just as quickly as those near the core. According to Newtonian physics, the stars on the edges should move slower, as the gravitational pull should weaken with distance from the center. But that wasn’t happening. Something unseen was holding these stars in orbit, acting like a glue that bound the galaxies together. This unseen substance, which does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, became known as dark matter.
