What are you reading? GA recommends The Universe Rocks by Raman Prinja. He says it is 'interesting', 'fun' and 'shocking' and gives it 10/10! He says children between Y3-Y6 should read it. šŸ“š #ChooseTheWilmAcad #goodreads #TheWilmAcadRfP #Year4

We were delighted to have Raman Prinja join us this morning. He's the Head of Department for Physics and Astronomy at University College London. We learnt why Mars will have its own ring & a timeline for when Earth and our universe will cease to be. UCL #Science

I’m still in awe of seeing the partial eclipse of the Sun on Saturday…the marvel of watching the silhouette of the Moon gliding across the disc of the Sun #solareclipse #sun #moon #solarsystem

Caught a lovely view of mountain ranges on the Moon…100s of km long and 5km high…follow the day/night terminator line for a lunar treat! #WondersOfTheMoon #moon #craters #Apennines

We can’t leave our Galaxy and take an actual picture of its shape, but by using ESA Gaia spacecraft mapping of the positions of billions of stars, we can illustrate the top-down and edge-on views of our ā€˜Island in the Universe’! (Our Sun is the yellow dot.) European Space Agency #Milky_Way
