World Space Week 2021 is taking place from 4-10 Oct! Keep an eye out on social media platforms for Q/A sessions with members of the Astronomy & Astrophysics Group and the CSDA, as they talk about the wonders and importance of space.

If you missed the GNOSIS21 Conference last month, you can find the recordings here.

For those more academically minded, you may wish to check out the collection of research articles that have been published by members of the CSDA.

Finally, here's a press release about the recent £3.5 million donation that promises to boost the Astronomy & Astrophysics Group by supporting PhD students and early career researchers for years to come.
