It was a pleasure to attend such a fantastic event and engage with colleagues from across the wider lunar and space community.
The very first UK Lunar Community Workshop we hosted last month was a blast! 🌕

A summary report capturing anonymised insights and proposals will be jointly developed and released by thebLunar Policy Platform and @royalastrosoc.bsky.social – stay tuned for that!

It was a pleasure to attend such a fantastic event with an excellent line-up of insightful research talks.
Last week we attended 'The Impact of UK Planetary Geoscience' conference at the @geolsoc.bsky.social. 🌍🪐

There were some amazing talks and discussions about the future of planetary science, while our deputy executive director Dr Robert Massey gave an update on RAS activity and membership. 🔭 ☄️🚀
