What are you currently working on?
March is a busy time for planning events and next week we have Physics: lab to life. We are also starting a new project with the IOP called Levelling Up which aims to help prepare under-represented sixth-form students for studying physics at university.
21st Hintze Lecture: Professor Sandra Faber
"Cosmic Knowledge and the Long-term Strategy of the Human Race"
The 2021 Quantum Materials Public Lecture: "From Rust to Riches"

Stargazing Oxford @Home
For the last ten years, we have thrown open the doors at the Department of Physics for our Stargazing event – an afternoon and evening of fascinating talks, hands-on activities and, not surprisingly, telescopes. Not wanting to disappoint this year, the team rose to the challenge of pandemic-proofing the event and Stargazing Oxford @Home was born.

Space rocks: meteorites and asteroids
Registration required - please register for this event by filling out this form.
In late 2020 NASA collected some material from the surface of an asteroid which is thought to be one of the oldest bodies in our Solar System. Come and find out when, why, and how, and find out a little more about how we can use rocks already delivered to Earth from space to learn even more.

Taking a planet's temperature
Registration required - please register for this event by filling out this form.
Measuring the temperature of a planet can give us a lot of information about the materials on its surface. Come and find out more about how we use the infrared to take the temperature of different planets, asteroids, and the Moon to find out what rocks are there.

Is there water on the Moon?
Registration required - please register for this event by filling out this form.
Oxford University is teaming up with NASA to send a mission called Lunar Trailblazer to orbit the Moon to search for water. Come and find out why and where we think water might be on the Moon.
