Rosetta ESA swag arrived!

ESA boxThere was a rather exciting delivery for me this week as you’ll see from the above picture. This was a pallet delivered from ESA (European Space Agency) for the Catch A Comet Royal Society Summer Exhibition stand. We got lots of cool stuff which we’ll be giving away to our visitors (but you might have to answer a few questions on comets to get a freebie)! The sports water bottles (see below) are awesome, I’ve already started using mine, but we also have pin badges, stickers and posters, all with Rosetta logos and cool pictures.

Rosetta water bottleI also spent a few evenings making the Molymod molecules for the comet sculpture we’ll install at the exhibit. Here’s a few of the ones I made so far…can you name them? Clue: the first one is the hardest natural substance. Second clue: They’re all found in comets.
