[UKSpaceRocks @UKSpaceRocks]

Congrats to all the Space Rocks ladies graduating yesterday! Congratulations to @CescaWillcocks @meganhammett_ @BeckyTheYeti @ItsJenMitchell on all your many degrees, & to @NatStephen for having 3 generations of students all graduating in 1 day!

[Dr Natasha Stephen @NatStephen]

Even for us, this was quite a far-fetched #geology #fieldtrip to plan! Take a look at where @heab & I would visit across the Solar System, if given the opportunity!

Hint: we visit #moons, planets, & #asteroids...

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨

'The formation & aqueous alteration of CM2 chondrites; a fresh isotopic perspective from the #Winchcombe fall'

Lots of isotope data in this one (O, Cd, Cr, Si, Te, Ti, & Zn) as well as cool #ElectronMicroscopy!

Free, open access: https://t.co/14gGv7QH6x

[Dr Natasha Stephen @NatStephen]

My favourite #meteorite find from this year, I think, meet Aurora! Not yet classified, but almost certainly something special...

#Nullarbor2023 #MeteoriteHunting

[Dr Natasha Stephen @NatStephen]

The happy faces of 8 scientists in the Nullarbor, having collected an exciting new haul of #meteorites to add to the collection!

All the exciting science to come, so watch this space... #Nullarbor2023

[Dr Natasha Stephen @NatStephen]

MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS to @CescaWillcocks who submitted her first, first-author paper today summarising her ResM research on #Mars analogues & #meteorites! 🥳

Thanks to @DrStephenGrimes & @ItsJenMitchell @UKSpaceRocks for supporting, & @PlanetaryRocks & @PaulCole for examining!

🚨PAPER ALERT🚨

'Recovery & #Curation of the Winchcombe #Meteorite' now available in @MeteoriticsPS - Open Access (free!)

Led by @sarameteorite at @NHM_Meteorites this showcases the huge effort involved in finding & curating the recent UK meteorite!

[Dr Natasha Stephen @NatStephen]

Thanks so much for having me, @OxInst! It doesn't take much to get me excitedly talking about space rocks, but it was great to share some of the recent @UKSpaceRocks #meteorites successes with a new audience, and showcase some cool #ElectronMicroscopy too!

Vestan olivine; 3 types & some was quite wet? Funky data time! @LPSCHaiku #LPSC2023

[Dr Jen Mitchell @ItsJenMitchell]

I can't come up with an #LPSCHaiku for the life of me, but my #LPSC2023 abstract features some funky data on magmatic(?) and metasomatic fayalite on the HED parent body✨ Abstract 1492 with @CescaWillcocks and @NatStephen

[UK Fireball Alliance @UK_Fireball]

If you were an eyewitness or have footage of tonight's #fireball over the UK, please submit a report with @UKMeteorNetwork at: https://t.co/rWAqBBrAqY

This information is very useful and can help us to map the trajectory of the fireball and recover any potential #meteorites ☄️

[UKSpaceRocks @UKSpaceRocks]

🚨 PAPER ALERT 🚨

Led by @rockbloke, this new paper focuses on the fusion crust of the #Winchcombe #meteorite found in Gloucestershire, UK in 2021. It's full of #ElectronMicroscopy, & another fantastic team effort!

Open (free) access: https://t.co/XXGuOtufII

[Tim Goudge @timgoudge]

🎉Job Announcement!!🎉 Opening for a 2 year Postdoc in our group. Focus on analysis of Mars orbital data of clay mineral-bearing strata, plus room to work on other projects. Application deadline is Feb. 15, 2023. More details here: https://t.co/dksKVniJen. Please share widely! 😀

[UKSpaceRocks @UKSpaceRocks]

🚨PAPER ALERT 🚨

An early Xmas present for the #Winchcombe team as the 2nd paper is published in @MeteoriticsPS this week, led by @MartinSuttle & supported by @NatStephen @ItsJenMitchell @CescaWillcocks!

Free to read online: https://t.co/I5bfUWuQbl

[Dr Natasha Stephen @NatStephen]

Thanks so much for having me @RoyalAstroSoc, @AshleyJKing85, @Daly_Planet & @JimRoweUK - it's great to share success stories of #meteorite recovery across two countries!

Thanks to the rest of the @UKSpaceRocks & @SpaceRocksAust teams too - very much a group effort!

[UKSpaceRocks @UKSpaceRocks]

It's not just big publications like last week's @ScienceAdvances paper on #Winchcombe that we put out there, we're actively sharing our #meteorite #science all the time!

In August we attended #MetSoc2022 with *10* shared papers! Find out more here: https://t.co/oZbkQrw5rX

[Geoscientist @geoscientistmag]

We're pleased to announce Geoscientist's new podcast, 5 Minutes With, where we chat to different geoscientists about their work, day-to-day activities, and career advice.

This month, we speak to Dr Jen Mitchell (@ItsJenMitchell) from @EMC_PlymUni:

https://t.co/26XlEpeObH

[Dr Jen Mitchell @ItsJenMitchell]

Let's go!!!! The first of many papers about this funky little #meteorite ✨ Everyone has worked so hard on this and I can't wait to see the rest of the science~

[Dr Natasha Stephen @NatStephen]

So proud to be part of the Winchcombe science team!

Our first paper on this new UK #meteorite is out now, exploring orbit & Solar System origin, & first results for its composition!

There's lots of #ElectronMicroscopy data to come...
https://t.co/GUMPwRe9zG

[UKSpaceRocks @UKSpaceRocks]

Our first group paper, in Science Advances no less, with colleagues across the country & led by @NHM_Meteorites - first results from the #Winchcombe meteorite!

Our work led by @NatStephen with @ItsJenMitchell @CescaWillcocks via @EMC_PlymUni at @PlymUni! https://t.co/UetDwehric

[Dr Natasha Stephen @NatStephen]

An amazing achievement for humankind, and for international collaboration - fantastic to see both the @NASA and @esa logos on the side!

I saw @NASA_Orion at JSC over a decade ago, I can't believe it's finally on its way to the #Moon! 🌕
