We've got the scoreboard from our Meteorite Hunt at @uomscieng.bsky.social Fun Lab at @traffordcentre.bsky.social a couple of weekends ago (sorry for the delay). Team Stormtrooper were first to find all 12 meteorites, but were later joined at the top by Cataleia, Amirah, Shivansh & Banana Giraffe.

These are not the rocks you're looking for!
We were at the Trafford Centre yesterday with @uomscieng.bsky.social for a Space themed Fun Lab, and encountered some unexpected visitors! Storm Troopers are quite good at finding meteorites and were first of the day to top the Meteorite Hunt leader board

Closing out MetSoc with the final talk of the entire conference is Manchester's Thomas Barrett. His work attempts to visualise core formation processes using heating experiments of meteorites and x-ray CT scanning to look at melted rocks in 3D.

Congratulations to Cyberz who topped the Meteorite Hunt scoreboard with 9 points 🥇
