It's been a great week for us at the Summer Exhibition! We've had nearly constant, full-house showings of the only movie in the world to take you through a unique, 3D journey of our Cosmic Origins. We have tried to present to you the cutting-edge of our understanding of the physics of the formation of our home, the Milky Way galaxy - research led by the Institute for Computational Cosmology at Durham University.

07/03/2009 - 09:53

The Ladybird Survey allows you to send us records of your ladybird sightings. You will be contributing to our research and the welfare of the native ladybird by doing so. I found it really opened my eyes to the world of insects.

In the photo, Dr Helen Roy explains the recording scheme to a group of students.
