Can anyone help?

So I sneaked into the OU building I needed for filming when someone came out but I’m now trapped inside without a pass card.

I live here now 😂🤣 Just changing my address on StudentHome…I guess my term doesn’t end in 39 days 🤣

This movie shows the sunspot structure and dynamics from the #photosphere to the #chromosphere. While the area seems to be nearly a rest in the photosphere, the chromospheric activity is very intense above the spot ☀️👉🏻 https://t.co/iKtEZbf9AK

If you are interested in Beyond Earth Orbit and Lunar missions, then please complete this survey before the 28th June to share your thoughts!

Your responses will provide vital insight in creating Beyond Earth Orbit (BEO) and lunar regulatory policy.

Still here. 👋
And still more than 15 billion miles (24 billion km) away from Earth. It takes my team about 22.5 hours to send me a command and another 22.5 hours for my response to get back to them. That will continue to increase the further I travel into interstellar space. -V1

All my terrible results are obviously just canon events and not at all unnecessary screwups #CanonEvent

So excited for another sustainability panel event 🤩

@richardmpalin @World_of_Wade @TinySpaceMagnet @OxEarthSciences This looks great. Can it be done remotely? I know of some keen students but they live in Scotland

Wow...

[ARCHIVED NASA Exoplanets @NASAExoplanets]

129 light-years away, we can see four planets dancing around the star HR 8799 in the constellation Pegasus. This is known as direct imaging – taking pictures of faraway planets. They can only be revealed by blocking the star's bright light. https://t.co/9Zz1BqgIVo

Born #OnThisDay in 1863 was American astronomer Annie Jump Cannon. Cannon, who lost most of her hearing early in her life, was one of the Harvard Computers, and her work was vital to the modern classification of stars. She classified around 350,000 stars during her career.

Ben Rider-Stokes, has investigated a unique, meteorite classified as Northwest Africa (NWA) 8535.

This sample is part of a group of meteorites from an asteroid/planet that no longer exists in the modern-day Solar System known as angrites.

This stunning new Webb image is a gift from a past star. In near-infrared light, supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) resembles a shiny ornament. Embedded within gas from the star are the materials for new stars & planets: https://t.co/9kIvQtEnpb
