Talk: The Real Star Wars: Meteorites, Meteors & Impact Craters of South Africa
Join Dr. Matthew S. Huber for a family-friendly talk exploring how space rocks have shaped our land.

NASA's Perseverance rover spotted a curious rock on Mars, dubbed St. Paul's Bay. Made of tiny rounded stones, it was found in Jezero Crater while searching for ancient life. Scientists are puzzling over its origin. #Mars #Perseverance #SpaceRocks

Perseverance Rover Finds Strange Rounded Rock Formation on Mars

Out this evening doing some stress testing of our #SpaceRocks cotton tote bag 🚀🎸

Six litre bottles of unpasteurised beer from the local abbey? 🧐

Passed with flying colours 🍻🖖🤘

#Chondrule lovers take a peek. 👀

NWA 2137, an unequilibrated LL3.7 chondrite #meteorite that has a dark inclusion and a ton of chondrules of all types. ☄️

This full slice (23.5g) with fusion crust resides in the Galactic Stone and Ironworks collection.

Available at the link in my profile.

Meteorite slice with prolific chondrules.

Amazing 😳

It’s not every day that you get name checked on an album that’s number 1 in the UK midweek album charts🙀

Let alone it being a 42 minute, two track prog concept album about the cosmic perspective that considering the vastness of space brings to our ephemeral lives ✨

Kudos to Steven Wilson for the stunning music – it’s a privilege to be involved along with my good friend, @alexandermilas 🙇‍♂️

Coming at 1800CET/1700GMT today: conversation about Jeff Wayne’s “The War of the Worlds” as it goes out on tour & the possibility of life on Mars.

With Sara Russell of the Natural History Museum & me on the science, Dave Rowntree of Blur, Brian Cox, & my #SpaceRocks co-founder @alexandermilas talking with Jeff about his classic album, plus Rou Reynolds of Enter Shikari who’s in the new show.

Was a fun day in London with Alex et al who made the film 🖖🤘

I'm busy with a creative project of my own (more of which soon), but just a quick one to flag the release Steven Wilson's space-inspired album "The Overview" yesterday ✨

I've had it for a few weeks & it's brilliant – immersive epic prog with zero pandering to the nano-attention span, oh so knowing world of streamed sludge 🙇‍♂️

It was a privilege to be part of the album premiere event at the BFI IMAX in London & I'm proud of the #SpaceRocks connection – thanks, Steven 🖖🤘

In London this week for a few events & meetings, some of which I can't talk about yet (ooh, mystery! 🤪)

But this one's public – I'll be at the British Film Institute this evening for a premiere of Steven Wilson's new space-inspired album "The Overview", with visuals on the IMAX screen.

We'll have a panel discussion after with Steven, the film maker Miles, my ESA colleague Miho, & my #SpaceRocks compadre, Alex.

Tonight is sold out, but there are more dates in Europe before the album tour 🖖🤘

Even if last night’s New Year’s Eve show on BBC One was an “awkward & breathless mess”, you at least have to applaud the set decoration team for their impeccable taste 😘

Looking forward to “The Overview”, the new album from our friend Steven Wilson, prog musician & producer extraordinaire, & his 2025 tour 🎶

Inspired by the perspective gained by looking down at Earth from space or outward into the cosmos, & as you’ll see, a conversation that started with Space Rocks 🖖🙂🤘

It’s late on Friday night & in honour of Steven Strait / James Holden of #TheExpanse appearing at ESTEC’s Open Day with #SpaceRocks in Noordwijk this weekend, ESA have just announced the latest design of the EnVision mission to Venus 👍

Meteor this morning?

Heads up (literally, if you’re in the South Pacific) 👀

At ~18:48UTC / 20:48CEST tomorrow, 8 Sep, the first of the four ESA Cluster II satellites, Salsa, will re-enter Earth’s atmosphere, bringing an effective end to the constellation’s 24-year mission to probe our magnetosphere & its interactions with the solar wind.

I’ll be back at ESOC in Darmstadt, helping film this sad but celebratory moment for a documentary coming soon from #SpaceRocks 🖖🤘

If you’re in the neighbourhood of the Randstad on Sunday 6 October, consider spending it with us at the annual ESA ESTEC Open Day 🚀🛰️🛸🔭🪐☄️✨👩‍🚀👨‍🚀

Lots to see & do linked to space science & technology, & many astronauts to meet, after the Association of Space Explorers get-together in Noordwijk that week.

I’ll be back there with #SpaceRocks & our friend Steven Strait aka James Holden of #TheExpanse will be too 🦠

Tickets are free, but limited 👇

Ha – that’s no asteroid 🤪

Rewatching S1 of #TheExpanse from 2016 & am further reminded how obviously influenced the production team was by Rosetta’s adventures at Comet 67P/C-G over the preceding two years 🙂👍

What goes around comes around though, as at #SpaceRocks, we’ve since worked with Dominique Tipper, Steven Strait, Shohreh Aghdashloo, & the writers, James SA Corey 🙂

Stay tuned for more science meets science fiction 🖖🤘

#SpaceScience #RosettaLegacy

A screenshot from the episode 8 of season 1 of the TV series The Expanse showing the ship the Rocinante decelerating towards an asteroid with stars in the background. The asteroid has a bilobed shape very reminiscent of Comet 67P/C-G that the ESA Rosetta mission rendezvoused with ten years ago this month.

An image of Comet 67P/C-G seen in black and white against a dark background, shortly before the Rosetta rendezvous in August 2014. The comet has a characteristic bilobed shape, with the larger part to the right and rear, and the smaller head to the left and front. The picture has been flipped horizontally to match the image from The Expanse.
