Did crater impacts before spring break! Students were impressed with their own results.

"Serving actual crater."

"It's giving crater!"

My 300-level Intro to Astrophysics class is going to be RAUCOUS and I am SO here for it.

I don't think a discussion of units has ever been so loud and hilarious. I ❤️ my physics students. 🔭🎢 #AstroEd #AstroEdu

I just spent three hours chatting with other astronomy educators at the Astronomy Educator Reception at #aas247 that was technically only an hour and a half and I am just so renewed and refreshed from that. #AstroEd 🔭🎢

☄️Congratulations to the planetary defenders of the first StAnD Asteroid Campaign of 2025-26 (in collaboration with IASC)!

They set a new record: 14 preliminary detections!
Even more gratifying than these results is the experience of the students: "It's great, we work like astronomers!" #AstroEd

We are proud to be a partner in SPHERE, the Space Schools Exploration and Research Mission, an EU co-funded Erasmus+ project. Austrian Space Forum (OeWF) hosted us for the kick off meeting. Watch this space to see how students will create analog mission simulations in their own schools! #astroed
