We had a super talk with Space Expert Ruth McAvinia on Zoom today.
She was SO interesting and pitched her talk at the exact right level to teach us lots of interesting things about space, while keeping us all absolutely fascinated and answering our many many questions.
Thank you so much to Ruth and to Space Week Ireland who arranged the visit for us today.
We are really loving Space Week 2024!
Solar Orbiter has a special connection with ireland as the company EnBio made a coating for the spacecraft to keep it safe from solar radiation.
Many thanks to Ruth for sharing some wonderful picutres with us.
