In the Dark

So here I am, getting ready to check out of my hotel and head off to the last day of the UK National Astronomy Meeting 2023.

I had to miss out on yesterday afternoon’s sessions to deal with some personal matters, all thankfully resolved, though that had the bonus of having to take a walk through Bute Park and get some lovely fresh air. I managed to sort out the things I needed to do, but it took longer than I thought it would for various reasons. Anyway, there is still the best part of a day to go, and my flight back to Dublin is not until this evening, so I’ll be attending most of the day’s session.

Since I did my talk on Wednesday I’ve been a free agent and while I have been at the meeting I have been moving from session. It’s been good to catch up with what’s going on across the field. I went to sessions on infrared astronomy and gravitational waves as well as a number on cosmology (including one on the UK contribution to Euclid).

I think the meeting has been excellent and I congratulate the organizers and all the contributors for putting on such a great programme. It’s great to see Cardiff at the forefront of so many great things going on UK Astronomy.

P.S. This may have been the biggest NAM ever..
