On day 1 of the main British Planetary Science Conference 2024 conference, we have spotted some terrific posters going up! #BPSCLeicester


#BPSCLeicester action shifted to Space Park Leicester for two sets of parallel sessions, inner planets in one room, outer SS in another. Nick Achilleos kicks off with an overview of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling across the Solar System, followed by talks on Hubble, Juno, JWST...


Space Park Leicester Henrik Melin @hmelin_ showcases the latest ionospheric discoveries from JWST for #BPSCLeicester, and advertises a Cycle-4 (!!) proposal workshop this September in Edinburgh: roe.ac.uk/workshop/jwst-…


Poster session at #BPSCLeicester in full swing, the buzz of new science ideas and networking, plus plenty of early-career scientists at their first meeting. Generously sponsored by Europlanet 🇪🇺 and Royal Astronomical Society


Day 1 was fantastic, we can’t wait to welcome everyone for day 2! 🤩 reminder that this morning our plenary talks are National Space Centre Shuttle Suite and all following Mars-related talks are there too. Giant Planet atmospheres, moons and Mercury will be Space Park Leicester #BPSCLeicester

Some photos from our brilliant poster session and talks throughout the day, thanks to all of our delegates so far for sharing your exciting planetary science work! #BPSCLeicester Space Park Leicester 🛰️🪐🌍


This morning at National Space Centre we heard from Meg Schwamb about the Vera Rubin observatory, Steve Banham on Mars’ Gale Crater and Aprajita Verma about the new ELT and its planetary science capabilities 🔭🪐


Thanks to everyone who joined us for a wonderful evening at National Space Centre for dinner and a show at the planetarium! We hope everyone had a great night 🌟☄️ Space Park Leicester #BPSCLeicester



On the final day of #BPSCLeicester we heard about the Moon, Phobos, Mercury and Venus, followed by a community session looking at the future of planetary science. We also had the chance to hear from some of the great societies available to planetary scientists! Space Park Leicester

We’d like to extend our thanks to all of the sponsors and partners of #BPSCLeicester. Our evening poster sessions were generously sponsored by Royal Astronomical Society and Europlanet 🇪🇺. This gave many ECRs a chance to present at their first conference, hopefully with many more to come!


Finally, the biggest thanks of all goes to our amazing organising committee, the wonderful Space Park Leicester staff and catering team, and our brilliant volunteers of ECRs and staff. With all of their help, organisation and general fabulousness, they made #BPSCLeicester a success!
