We are all set here Northumbria Uni to welcome students from St Mary’s Catholic School, Bede Academy, Jesmond Park Academy & Cramlington Learning Village for the North East Hub Orbyts Conference #OrbytsConference2024
They partied , they bet on elections , they crashed the economy, they broke every public service, they destroyed integrity and honesty in public office , they paid their mates billions , they put their friends in the House of Lords, they gave their cronies knighthoods, they went
Students from Chingford Foundation School studied the Aurora on Jupiter and found a correlation between solar activity and X-rays from the equatorial regions of Jupiter! Amazing work and thank you for the poster presentation! ✨ #OrbytsConference2024
Students from Alperton CS looked at maximising the efficiency of continuous-time quantum walks! This is some hard stuff but these students managed to explained it clearly to me! Thank you and amazing work! ✨#OrbytsConference2024
Student from Prendergast Ladywell looked at star formation in nearby galaxies and each got to individually analyse their own galaxy! When asked, the students said that collaborating and conducting research were their favourite parts! Fantastic work everyone! 🌌 #OrbytsConference2024
Another group of students from LAE Stratford looked at solid-state lithium batteries and understand their properties and degradation! Electrifying work! 🔋 #OrbytsConference2024
NASA announced the results of Step 1 of the Astrophysics Probe competition. Unfortunately Line Emission Mapper (LEM) X-ray Probe was not selected. We want to thank our amazing Team of 300+ scientists, engineers, and program managers, administrators, who dedicated 2 years to developing the LEM concept! (1/2)
Obviously v tough to take - I was really proud of our LEM white paper on solar system X-rays and the Line Emission Mapper (LEM) X-ray Probe proposal felt phenomenally well put together by an amazing team. But AXIS X-ray Probe is a really exciting mission and I have fingers firmly crossed for them in the next phase.
