   EVENTS NEXT MONTH (12):  
   
Space Shuttle Columbia lost this day - February 1 @ 00:00
The anniversary of the destruction of the Space Shuttle Columbia, which was lost this day along with her seven-member crew, in 2003. The orbiter was lost on re-entry, when hot gases crept into the wing thanks to smashed RCC tiles; the tiles had been damaged at launch, when ice from the insulated fuel tank detached and struck the shuttle. This led to new examination procedures when arriving at the ISS, and severe destination restrictions on all remaining shuttle flights. On a wider note, it largely informed the design of the snuttle's successor, the Space Launch System (SLS), which places the spacecraft back on top of the launch stack, where it is safe from this sort of event.
   
S-s-s-snag - February 3 @ 00:00
An all-time Canadian low-temperature record was set on this date in 1947, in Snag, Yukon, as the mercury plummeted to -63.0° C.
   
Guatemala Earthquake - February 4 @ 00:00
On this day in 1976, 49 years ago, a massive earthquake struck Guatemala.

SN 1987 (Supernova) - February 23 @ 00:00
SN 1987A was discovered by Ian Shelton--a Canadian--and Oscar Duhaide, at the Las Campanas Observatory, in Chile, now 38 years ago. Continuous telescopic observations ever since have revaled an evolving, growing supernova remnant. The supernova was located within the Large Magellanic Cloud, which neighbours our own Milky Way. The supernova was the first one visible to the unaided eye in several hundred years.
   
New Moon - February 27 @ 09:44
