British Planetary Science Conference 2024

💫A big THANK YOU to everyone who attended #BPSCLeicester ! It was great to host everyone at @SpaceParkLeic and @spacecentre this week. We’ve really enjoyed seeing the range of brilliant planetary science research from everyone. We hope you enjoyed all the talks and posters! 🌌🪐

Thanks to all who came to #BPSCLeicester last week! A thoroughly enjoyable week full of planetary science ☄️🪐🛰️🌌

Finally, the biggest thanks of all goes to our amazing organising committee, the wonderful @SpaceParkLeic staff and catering team, and our brilliant volunteers of ECRs and staff. With all of their help, organisation and general fabulousness, they made #BPSCLeicester a success!

We’d like to extend our thanks to all of the sponsors and partners of #BPSCLeicester. Our evening poster sessions were generously sponsored by @RoyalAstroSoc and @europlanetmedia. This gave many ECRs a chance to present at their first conference, hopefully with many more to come!

On the final day of #BPSCLeicester we heard about the Moon, Phobos, Mercury and Venus, followed by a community session looking at the future of planetary science. We also had the chance to hear from some of the great societies available to planetary scientists! @SpaceParkLeic

#BPSCLeicester A reminder that anyone can join our community session later this morning and hear about community opportunities. Find the Teams link here: bpsc2024.le.ac.uk/programme/

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a wonderful evening at @spacecentre for dinner and a show at the planetarium! We hope everyone had a great night 🌟☄️ @SpaceParkLeic #BPSCLeicester

This morning at @spacecentre we heard from Meg Schwamb about the Vera Rubin observatory, Steve Banham on Mars’ Gale Crater and Aprajita Verma about the new ELT and its planetary science capabilities 🔭🪐

Some photos from our brilliant poster session and talks throughout the day, thanks to all of our delegates so far for sharing your exciting planetary science work! #BPSCLeicester @SpaceParkLeic 🛰️🪐🌍

Day 1 was fantastic, we can’t wait to welcome everyone for day 2! 🤩 reminder that this morning our plenary talks are @spacecentre Shuttle Suite and all following Mars-related talks are there too. Giant Planet atmospheres, moons and Mercury will be @SpaceParkLeic #BPSCLeicester

Poster session at #BPSCLeicester in full swing, the buzz of new science ideas and networking, plus plenty of early-career scientists at their first meeting. Generously sponsored by @europlanetmedia and @RoyalAstroSoc

Henrik Melin @hmelin_ showcases the latest ionospheric discoveries from JWST for #BPSCLeicester, and advertises a Cycle-4 (!!) proposal workshop this September in Edinburgh: roe.ac.uk/workshop/jwst-…

#BPSCLeicester action shifted to @SpaceParkLeic for two sets of parallel sessions, inner planets in one room, outer SS in another. Nick Achilleos kicks off with an overview of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling across the Solar System, followed by talks on Hubble, Juno, JWST...

On day 1 of the main @BPSC2024Leic conference, we have spotted some terrific posters going up! #BPSCLeicester

We welcome some of the brightest minds – over 170 people – from the UK’s space science community to Leicester for the four-day British Planetary Science Conference 2024 commencing today. #BPSCLeicester See what's ahead 👇 space-park.co.uk/2024/06/bpsc-l…
