Love it here!
🚀Sophie is once again at the stunning @andoyaspaceedu Centre in Norway working with the team at #EuropeanSpaceCamp to lecture and support students in their student rocket campaign. We would like to congratulate all the participants on the successful launch of their rocket, SARRDINE! 🌟Sophie says: European Space Camp is always a wonderful experience, but I have been so very impressed by the participants this year. The level of professionalism and maturity that they are showing, and the smooth collaborative teamwork I am seeing is rivalling what I observe in real space campaigns. They are a delightful, engaging bunch of space enthusiasts and it is a real privilege to be working with them.

Penguins + Space + JWST = stunning
Penguins make excellent parents, even in space. 🐧 Celebrating 2 years of science, this new Webb image shows 2 galaxies: a Penguin (NGC 2936) guarding an Egg (NGC 2937). Webb reveals they are in a cosmic hug, joined together by a blue haze of stars & gas:

It is such a pleasure for @UKSpaceAcademy to be working with these students! Many thanks to @spacegovuk for making this amazing camp possible and @Cambridge_Uni for hosting us!
A group of our year 11s were invited to attend Space Camp at the National Space Academy at Cambridge University! Off to a stellar start, they have attended lectures, learned about telescopes, and viewed some exciting equipment. #spacecamp #cambridgeuniversity #fearnhillschool
