@TailunSun Well done! All your consistent hard work has paid off! Very proud of you 👏 Oxford is lucky to have you!

[PriestleyPhys @PriestleyPhys]

Amazing results for our A level Physics students! Incredibly proud of them all, as they have worked together in lockdown and through hybrid models!

100% pass rate and an amazing
50% A*

Very proud of them all! Well done! 👏

Stellar parallax...

[Tod R. Lauer @TodLauer]

Thought I would repost this. To see stellar parallax, you don't have to wait six months, you just need a spacecraft far away from the Earth. Proxima Cen observed from New Horizons and Earth at the same time.

A legendary experiment on the moon, a hammer and feather dropped from the same height, reach the lunar surface simultaneously

without air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate (regardless of mass) as predicted by Galileo, over 400 years earlier
