A great day at the Industrial Cadets Celebration event. Enjoyed being an assessor this year and getting to see so many outstanding projects! @TheEDTUK@IndustrialCadet
A joy to be part of an @IndustrialCadet judging panel today and looking forward to hearing from more outstanding teams tomorrow. ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐งโ๐คโ๐ง๐ฌ๐ทโโ๏ธ๐ทโป๏ธ๐๏ธ๐@YoungSTEMLeader
Thanks for inviting me to your party 1P10. Tasty mocktails, sausage rolls and delicious warm chocolate brownie with a side of karaoke ๐๐๐ค๐ต๐บ๐ชฉ @BishopbriggsFCS
HOME.
The Artemis II crew has arrived back on Earth, ending a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon. The trip took them farther into space than humans have ever gone before, and now they're safely home with us.

Hello, Moon. Itโs great to be back.
Hereโs a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
What a brilliant year it has been working with such an AMAZING bunch of Highers ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฐ๏ธ๐ช๐ Here are the two E column groups with Mrs Wallace and Ms Carlin. @MissCarlin_Phys@bishyphysics
For the first time in over 50 years, humans are Moonbound.
At 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC) NASAโs Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft lifted off from the agencyโs Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending four astronauts on a planned test flight around the Moon and back. https://t.co/0Q9ZB4IWVI
Brisket and cobbler and quiche, oh my!
Curious what astronauts eat on a 10-day trip around the Moon? Read about how we design and prepare meal plans for Artemis II: https://t.co/eVNGSQpM04
Please enjoy our 1st Big Bang Bishy Blog - a celebration of our fab physicists! โญ๏ธ This month focuses on some of our fab S6 students who are going to study physics at universities across the UK! @bishyphysics@MissCarlin_Phys@MissJHighton@MrsKerr_BA
ENJOY! ๐ซถ
Tomorrow, humans return to the path of the Moon.
NASA is set to make history as the Artemis II mission lifts off from Kennedy Space Center at 6:24 p.m. EDT.
This landmark flight marks the first time in more than 50 years that humans will venture beyond low Earth orbit toward the Moon. Aboard the powerful Space Launch System rocket, four astronauts will ride the Orion spacecraft on a daring ten-day journey that will take them nearly 250,000 miles from Earth.
Unlike the Apollo missions, this flight will be broadcast live around the world in stunning high definition. A new generation will witness the thunderous roar of liftoff and the dramatic ascent into space in real time.
The crew will fly a precise loop around the far side of the Moon before returning home โ a high-stakes test of the Orion spacecraftโs life-support systems, navigation, and deep-space capabilities. Though Artemis II will not land on the lunar surface, it is the critical dress rehearsal for humanityโs return to the Moon later this decade.
This mission is more than a flight โ it is the bridge between our past achievements and a future of sustained human presence on the Moon and beyond.
๐ You may see the northern lights this evening and overnight due to a Coronal Mass Ejection
Despite it's imminent arrival there's considerable uncertainty and it may only glance Earth.
If it arrives, aurora could be spotted as far south as northern England if skies are clear.
