Y'know, sometimes your friends just can't help boasting about having been part of Space Rocks π£οΈ
And when they do it on national TV, putting us in the same sentence as both NASA and ESA, well ... βΊοΈπ€ͺ

CHERRY POINT
I havenβt been keeping up β a very busy few days driving from DE to south NL, then to north NL for our sonβs graduation, & back to south NL for the ESA ESTEC Open Day with #SpaceRocks yesterday.
Many pictures from that, but hereβs a lovely one from the Lammermarkt underground car park in Leiden for now, representing some of the cityβs key contributions to science, not least astronomy β¨

Just crossing the Mosel west of Koblenz, en-route to Noordwijk for this weekendβs ESA ESTEC Open Day with #SpaceRocks πππ€
Left it late leaving home, where it was sunny & warm, but this is much better driving weather, especially in my crappy little CitroΓ«n C1 without air conditioning π₯΅βοΈ

"Meteorites & Astronomy, an Intimate Connection" π πͺ πͺ¨
"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." π π
