Y'know, sometimes your friends just can't help boasting about having been part of Space Rocks 🗣️

And when they do it on national TV, putting us in the same sentence as both NASA and ESA, well ... ☺️🤪

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 – he's such a mensch & we love him to bits 🙇‍♂️

I haven’t been keeping up – a very busy few days driving from DE to south NL, then to north NL for our son’s graduation, & back to south NL for the ESA ESTEC Open Day with #SpaceRocks yesterday.

Many pictures from that, but here’s a lovely one from the Lammermarkt underground car park in Leiden for now, representing some of the city’s key contributions to science, not least astronomy ✨

Just crossing the Mosel west of Koblenz, en-route to Noordwijk for this weekend’s ESA ESTEC Open Day with #SpaceRocks 🖖🙂🤘

Left it late leaving home, where it was sunny & warm, but this is much better driving weather, especially in my crappy little Citroën C1 without air conditioning 🥵✌️

"Meteorites & Astronomy, an Intimate Connection" 🔭 🪐 🪨

"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." 🌜 🚀
