Chury is ready for the Halfway to Halley Comet Meeting at Royal Astronomical Society and looking forward to telling everyone about Comet Chasers πβοΈπ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ later π

All ready for a Comet Chasers πβοΈπ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ Christmas school's workshop - 99 teenagers on their way π«£ Paul Roche π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώππ€Ώ Cardiff Uni Physics Faculty of STEM, The Open University The OU in Wales


Can you guess what's printing?? Any idea what links it to a rotating penguin?? π€ Find out on the @BritAstro stand at #Astrofest on Saturday I'm there as part of our Comet Chasers πβοΈπ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ @DS_2DI project which partners BAA experts with schools π Live observing too π€Faulkes Telescope

Kit packed ready to head to London for #Astrofest tomorrow. Find me at @BritAstro stand. Come and learn about light curves and help contribute to comet science by setting up some of your own comet observations with Faulkes Telescope Las Cumbres Observatory research grade telescopes. #OnAMission



Brilliant Emma DeepSpace2DeepImpact

This resonates with what we're trying to do through Comet Chasers πβοΈπ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ and DeepSpace2DeepImpact

Chury is ready for an exciting adventure - hoping to experience a total eclipse of the sun ππ (given the forecast he may have to experience it through cloud, but hoping for some views at some point!!) We'll let you know how it goes Comet Chasers πβοΈπ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ #SolarEclipse #Eclipse2024



I really enjoyed working with you allπ - lots of great interaction and amazing rocket designsπ (even if we did get a bit wet!!!) Comet Chasers πβοΈπ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ DeepSpace2DeepImpact Llangynwyd Primary School



#NAM2024 outreach event all ready, just need some visitors! Comet Chasers πβοΈπ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ @diih_DS2D




Got to see #Comet2023A3 π Light polluted observing site (seafront at Barry), but with good horizon. Nothing naked eye, or even with my phone, but success with the Seestar. That also meant it was really easy to show passers-by - loads of wows π @BritAstro RAS Outreach



That's a fantastic process of the data Dave π Its a great comet for our Comet Chasers πβοΈπ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ schools to observe. The Las Cumbres Observatory Global Sky Partners 0.4m network telescopes provide a wide field of view - proof that the biggest telescope isn't always best for comet observing!
