Astro Pi 2023
Astro Pi 2023 Challenge coming soon.
What is Astro Pi?
The European Astro Pi Challenge offers young people the amazing opportunity to conduct scientific investigations in space by writing computer programs that run on Raspberry Pi computers aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
2023 challenge opens mid September.
Please see website for details.
Note: As I run the STEM group, and we are a bring you own projects event, then I am happy for this to be a safe place to meet up and work on projects. However:-
- If you are working on Mission Zero you will need a PARENT / GUARDIAN to help you.
- If you are undertaking Mission Space Lab you will need a MENTOR to help you.

A Giant Black Hole Destroyed a Star and Threw the Pieces into Space
I am sharing this 'as-is' the original fediverse post text is quoted below along with a link to the article.
A pair of X-ray telescopes have observed the messy aftermath of a star that came too close to a supermassive black hole 290 million light-years away. It's believed that the star had three times the mass of the Sun, so this was one of the largest tidal disruption events ever seen. Although the black hole consumed some of the star, most of its guts were thrown into the surrounding space, polluting the region with the chemicals that allowed astronomers to estimate its stellar mass.

American football – Torbay Trojans Training 27/8/2023 review
Really good session today. The team started with the usual warm up, moved on to footwork drills, then the team did some more running routes and catching practice. Finally we moved on to tackling practice, and developing all important techniques.
I hopefully have some good footage of this, which has been shared with the team already.
Next week Saturday 2/9/2023, we have a stand at Torbay Pride, where we will have some equipment such as pads, helmets and also some fun activities for people to have a go at.
Then on Sunday 3/9/2023, we have our last training session before our recruitment / rookie camp starts on the 10th September.
So going to be a busy few weeks.
