In one of my final sessions with the Thor-Davis experiment I captured this giant lightning strike that appears to strike between clouds - something that is more common than lightining striking Earth. I had it slowed down a few times so you can really see the scale of it. The "stars" you see in the video are dead pixels in the camera.

Throughout my mission I have have the oppotunity to sit in the Cupola, both for science with the two Thor-Davis and EarthShine experiments thanks to @DTUtweet and @dmidk and in my spare time. It is a marvelous view I have from up here and I have tried to give a taste of it through these posts.

I en af mine sidste gange med Thor-Davis eksperimentet, optog jeg dette kæmpe lyn, der ser ud til at bevæge sig mellem skyerne - noget der er mere almindeligt end lynnedslag, der rammer jorden. Jeg har fået det gjort langsommere, så du virkelig kan se størrelsen af det. De "stjerner" I kan se er døde pixels i kameraet.

Gennem min mission har jeg haft muligheden for at sidde i Cupola, både når jeg skulle udfører videnskab med de to Thor-Davis og EarthShine eksperimenter takket være @DTUtweet og @dmidk, og i min fritid. Det er en fantastisk udsigt, jeg har heroppe, og jeg har prøvet at give jer en smagsprøve på det igennem de her opslag.

Voor het eerst (!?) op bezoek bij @ESA_nl voor kick-off meeting van #Moonshots24. Looking forward to a day full of great/ambitious/weird ideas & dreams from student teams with diverse backgrounds. Will try to help as one of the ‘experts’ they can consult

Tijdens het afsluitend festival van Leiden European City of Science 2022 vertelde @KnolMeta hoe ze samen met @lukeyellowhat het afgelopen jaar vorm heeft gegeven. Een jaar waarin kunst, wetenschap en samenleving dichter bij elkaar gebracht zijn. Het kan ... en het moet!

Het fantastische team van Leiden European City of Science 2022 @leiden2022 waanzinnig goed gedaan iedereen! 👏👏👏 #leiden2022 @KnolMeta

[LUMC Leiden @LUMC_Leiden]

Oor, trombose en insuline. Een greep uit de dagonderwerpen van @leiden2022 waarbij het LUMC betrokken was. In totaal hebben 170 LUMC’ers zich ingezet om de brug te slaan tussen wetenschap en het publiek. Hoe hebben zij dit beleefd en wat leverde het op? 👉 https://t.co/Z6q35EPBtN
