Second planet I would like to visit is Trappist-1 g.
TRAPPIST-1 is a system about 40 light years away from Earth in the Constellation, Aquarius. Here we have 7 Earth-sized planets orbiting a single ultra-cool dwarf star. (NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Here is animation showing all seven planets orbiting the TRAPPIST-1. (ESO)
And this is artist’s impression of the TRAPPIST-1 system as observed from the most distant planet (TRAPPIST-1h). (ESO)
Finally NASA's Exoplanet excursion through the TRAPPIST-1 system.
How long it would take for NASA's Space Shuttle, the New Horizons spacecraft or Breakthrough Starshot's proposed laser sail to get to TRAPPIST-1 system.

Mars base "Dome"

So today I am going to show you some details. The Mars base project called Dome qualified for the "shortlist" of the best projects submitted to the First Colony on Mars competition, organized as part of the Kuala Lumpur Architecture Festival.
We proposed the futuristic idea of ​​a Martian base using shape memory materials. The concept uses the significant daily temperature amplitude on Mars, which reaches several dozen degrees.
Under the influence of temperature changes over the course of the day, the petal-shaped parts of the dome bend towards the center of the base, giving access to natural light and at the same time creating a dome that allows for additional space protected from radiation.

First of all - when I say space history, what does that mean to you?
Wow, lots of engagement with this tweet - clearly space history has an important place in people’s hearts!

There’s a lot of focus on missions (particularly US missions), and the women involved in them are out of focus.
My research is a bit different: I look at British space history, which gets a lot less attention. I do look at the science, but I also look at engineering, computing and women’s labour. (These aren’t mutually exclusive.)

It’s a lovely Saturday night here in the UK and I’m really looking forward to chatting with you all! I’m a 1st year PhD student and space historian (pretty cool job title), here to share why and how we go about making sense of the past.
Over the next week I’ll be talking about what space history is and why we should care, research under lockdown, and maybe even what my research is showing 👀 but first of all I want to hear from you!

What first got you really excited about space?
And what space-related stuff have you been getting excited about recently?

Personally I’m still over the moon at having seen #cometNEOWISE. It looks like trying to see the comet has gotten a lot more people interested in space and astronomy, too.
