The SciX Team are at #EGU26 in very sunny Vienna this week! Come and see Daniel and Suze to discover what we're up to at our booth on Level -2 (between the posters and the coffee - both equally tempting). Anna has a talk on Thursday and Suze has a poster on Friday. See you there!

For those who celebrate, may the #Beltane fires awaken your spirit and guide toward renewal. #MayDay is a #crossquarter day, falling halfway between #vernalequinox and #summersolstice #calendar #timekeeping #seasons #astrophysics #equinox #solstice 🍎

This is a cliff on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It's about 1 km tall. If you jumped from the top, it would take you 47 minutes to reach the bottom, and you'd probably be OK.
