Artemis II: Return to the Moon! At long last, after more than 50 years, this week humans will once again be orbiting around the Moon! With the upcoming NASA Artemis II  launch scheduled for April 1st, no not an April fool’s joke …

The countdown is on! #Artemis II is scheduled to launch later today, the first crewed mission to the #Moon in over 50 years.

Jodie is a new PhD students who joined us at the start of this academic year. Most of us consider Manchester to be north, but Jodie previously studied at @uniofstandrews.bsky.social, so has moved a long way south! Her PhD focuses on trying to understand how meteorites are altered by heat and water.

We previously posted profiles of other group members. You should be able to find them all on our Facebook and Instagram accounts

A couple of new PhD students joined our group back in October. Now they've had a few months to settle in, it is time to introduce them to the world. First up is Flo, who studied Earth and Planetary Science as an undergraduate before starting her PhD.

We had a great time at @sim-manchester.bsky.social on Tuesday! Huge congratulations to Khattab, Jacob & Mum, Heaton Family, Meteorite Masters and Jonesies who found all 12 of the meteorites in our Meteorite Hunt 🥇 And thanks to everyone who stopped to chat and have a go 🌝

We won't mention A and A's score 🙈
Thanks for visiting us, and well done to all!

We've got the scoreboard from our Meteorite Hunt at @uomscieng.bsky.social Fun Lab at @traffordcentre.bsky.social a couple of weekends ago (sorry for the delay). Team Stormtrooper were first to find all 12 meteorites, but were later joined at the top by Cataleia, Amirah, Shivansh & Banana Giraffe.

Full scores from all other teams to follow...

These are not the rocks you're looking for!
We were at the Trafford Centre yesterday with @uomscieng.bsky.social for a Space themed Fun Lab, and encountered some unexpected visitors! Storm Troopers are quite good at finding meteorites and were first of the day to top the Meteorite Hunt leader board

Closing out MetSoc with the final talk of the entire conference is Manchester's Thomas Barrett. His work attempts to visualise core formation processes using heating experiments of meteorites and x-ray CT scanning to look at melted rocks in 3D.

Yesterday's poster session here Down Under at MetSoc in Perth Australia featured work from the Moon to Mars and back. Abstracts can be found online at metsoc2025.au/program/

This years annual Meteroitical Society Meeting kicked off yesterday in Perth Australia. Prof. Phil Bland started out with the Barringer Lecture "The Consolation of Science", discussing topics such as the history of modern science, why science is so precious, and what it feels like to do science.

This week many members of our group are at #Goldschmidt2025

We’re having a great time sharing our research, hearing other groups share there’s and making new connections!

Still one more day to go - come and say hi!
