Lots of things have happened this week for the UK team (and their leaders) at the #ioaa2024, including their theory and practical exams, as well as chance to visit the Uaná Etê Ecological Garden for a break from the work and enjoy the scenery! More photos: facebook.com/The.BPhO

With exams done, the UK team at the #ioaa2024 could enjoy the Cultural Evening (with some singing!) whilst the team leaders worked hard for every mark in moderation before they too could relax with a trip to the historic centre of Vassouras. More photos: facebook.com/The.BPhO

Lots of Astro news on TV recently, including the Parker Solar Probe (check out Q1 from Astro Round 2 2019 bpho.org.uk/baao/Papers/R2/ for the maths!), and the star T Cor Bor (in last term's Astro Challenge!) - we hope those with an Astro interest will sit the BAAO papers this term 🤞
