Y'know, sometimes your friends just can't help boasting about having been part of Space Rocks ๐ฃ๏ธ
And when they do it on national TV, putting us in the same sentence as both NASA and ESA, well ... โบ๏ธ๐คช
Thank you to the mighty Jason Isaacs for this shout-out last week on "Would I Lie To You?" on BBC One in the UK โ he's such a mensch & we love him to bits ๐โโ๏ธ

I havenโt been keeping up โ a very busy few days driving from DE to south NL, then to north NL for our sonโs graduation, & back to south NL for the ESA ESTEC Open Day with #SpaceRocks yesterday.
Many pictures from that, but hereโs a lovely one from the Lammermarkt underground car park in Leiden for now, representing some of the cityโs key contributions to science, not least astronomy โจ

Just crossing the Mosel west of Koblenz, en-route to Noordwijk for this weekendโs ESA ESTEC Open Day with #SpaceRocks ๐๐๐ค
Left it late leaving home, where it was sunny & warm, but this is much better driving weather, especially in my crappy little Citroรซn C1 without air conditioning ๐ฅตโ๏ธ

"Meteorites & Astronomy, an Intimate Connection" ๐ญ ๐ช ๐ชจ
"When we look at craters on the moon in our eyepieces, we are seeing the impact sites that launched the lunar meteorites we now have on Earth in our collections. Holding a lunar meteorite is the closest thing we "normal folk" will come to touching the Moon where the Apollo astronauts once walked." ๐ ๐
